As announced by the Health Minister, Aurelijus Veryga, at a press conference, it was decided to present a proposal to the Government for a decision on the removal of the quarantine on June 17 of this week.
What restrictions will remain is also still being discussed.
As the minister said, even after the quarantine is lifted, some control of the movement will be maintained, which means that foreigners from some countries will not be able to enter. Restrictions on mass events must also remain.
The minister also said that Poland had joined Lithuania’s free movement “bubble”. This means that when traveling to or from Latvia, Estonia and soon Poland, there will be no need for compulsory isolation and free movement to these countries.
Veryga recalled that countries with a 14-day coronavirus morbidity rate of less than 25 cases per 100,000 population could enter, but isolation was necessary. Such countries are Belgium and Ireland. If this indicator exceeds 25, foreigners from these countries are prohibited from entering. These are the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Portuguese Republic. Lithuanian citizens may come from these countries, but isolation is mandatory.
“Another topical issue is the Sunday data from 70% of the medical institutions operating in Lithuania. polyclinics, about 80 percent. hospitals and just over 80%. dental offices have opened or are about to open their doors to patients, that is, return to scheduled services. Once again, I want to urge the institutions to assess this situation in a very responsible way and not delay it, ”said A. Veryga.
According to the SAM chief, more people will be prophylactically examined in those municipalities where the incidence of coronavirus exceeds the Lithuanian average. These municipalities are Vilnius, Vilnius District, Lazdijai, Ignalina, Šalčininkai, Skuodas, Elektrėnai and Šakiai.
