According to the BNS, the coronavirus affects 19 employees of Hegelmann Transporte. Currently, one of the infected people from Uzbekistan is being treated at the Kaunas Clinical Hospital, the others are isolated at the Abromiškės Rehabilitation Hospital. About 200 more employees of the coronavirus transport company are being studied.
Lrytas.lt announces that one of the Uzbeks contacted them with coronavirus. According to Uzbek, the patients were arranged in pairs, but without the test results they do not know who is sick and who is not.
“If the response to the test is already positive, let us treat or give you medical help. There is no medicine, nothing. Otherwise, we will go out into the city and start infecting everyone. Who will benefit from this? Let us bring you some antibiotics. . (…) We came directly from work and they left us here. Everything is open, whatever you want, do it “, – lrytas.lt quotes a driver who does not want to show up
Commenting on the Uzbek allegations to lrytui.lt, Vitalijus Glamba, director of the Abromiškės Rehabilitation Hospital, stated that no Lithuanian resident had previously made complaints about accommodation or food conditions.
“They should thank the Lithuanian state for caring for and providing all the necessary assistance,” said V. Glamba.
I think it came already infected
Delfi recalls that today Rolanda Lingienė, director of the Vilnius department of the National Center for Public Health (NVSC), announced that the 200 people currently investigated had no close contact with those infected, so the number of those infected should not increase significantly.
NVSC assumes that workers in Uzbekistan have already arrived infected with coronavirus.
“There may be two versions, but in this case we adhere to the first: that all cases arrived in Lithuania already infected in Uzbekistan, because they became ill during the incubation period.” (…) If you remember, a few days ago we talked about an infected person in Vilnius who came from Uzbekistan. That person arrived on the same plane and we confirmed our hypothesis that he was infected on the plane, “said R. Lingienė.
A NSVC spokeswoman said that all people who had significant contact with company employees were isolated. There were 31 of those people.
An NVSC representative said the first person became ill on July 3 and arrived in Lithuania the day before.
“He arrived in the afternoon, he got sick in the morning, which means that he was infected during his stay in the country, that is. In Uzbekistan Another person became ill on July 9 and all the other illnesses, two officially confirmed yesterday and fourteen others not officially confirmed, became ill later. Surprisingly, they didn’t have to get sick in the normal way if they really followed the isolation regime, because they were isolated when the first person got sick, “R. Lingienė told BNS.
Urine Ivanauskienė, Head of the Communicable Disease Management Division of the Kaunas Department at NVSC, said that by July 2, more Uzbek employees had already arrived at the company. A total of 24 employees from this country came to work for the company.
“We see that those 18 are already sick. Some have already gone on a trip, those people are not sick, ”said O. Ivanauskienė.
The specialist explained that such employees generally go to the company’s training base, and have two weeks or a month of training there, and then they are hired as drivers.
“They have accommodation, all the conditions for living. These are dormitory-type conditions, but there is a place where they can buy food. Those days, they walked through the surrounding institutions, – said O. Ivanauskienė.
According to the Kaunas NSVC representative, he said the company had stopped working and was awaiting the results of the investigation. He assured that the company will not take any action on new employees until July 22.
Tomas Jurgelevičius, the head of Hegelmann Transporte, told BNS that from now on he will have to monitor foreigners who come to work more closely.
“We will review everyone and everything, there will be no other way. And the National Center for Public Health advises doing so, we are cooperating with them and we will continue cooperating with them,” said the head of the company.
