“Today, as soon as I entered the Seimas, I received the news that my COVID19 preventive test was positive. After 15 minutes, he was home, where he would have to spend the next few weeks.
However, this will not be a holiday, but an intense telework: I call the first meeting of the Culture Commission for tomorrow morning, which I invite to see ‘live’ or recording. I am also starting a large part of the work meetings, which will also have to be transferred to the Internet space ”, V. Juozapaitis announced on his Facebook account.
He stressed that work must not stop.
“Life goes on, work goes on. It is very important that today Ingrida Šimonytė has been approved by the Seimas as prime minister, which means that a new government will soon be approved, with which we will assume responsibility together,” wrote a member of the Seimas.
Conservative Andrius Kupčinskas also received a positive COVID-19 response. He assured that he had to leave the Seimas shortly before the vote on the approval of the suitability of Ingrida Šimonytė to occupy the position of prime minister.
“It is a pity, but I could no longer give my vote to the Prime Minister, I had to leave urgently. Well, there is other news, not so good, that COVID-19 did not miss me either. Yesterday’s test was positive. Therefore, when I found out immediately and did not participate in one of the most important votes, I got in the car and flew to Kaunas, ”writes A. Kupčinskas on Facebook.
He assured her that he did not feel any symptoms.
“The strangest thing is that so far I have not received any official message, neither via SMS nor via esveikata.lt. By the way, I also went in there and checked before the meeting. In general, so far I have not received any records of yesterday’s tests. Only reported the Chancellery of the Seimas. That’s why I left. It was one of my shorter meetings. I couldn’t even open the computer, maybe I only registered when I received a call, “explained A. Kupčinskas.
The politician said he would return to Kaunas, where he would isolate himself. He assured him that he had not contacted other parliamentarians today. The meeting of the Seimas Homeland Union faction and the Lithuanian Christian Democrats was held remotely.
“The last session of the Seimas, when I saw my teammates and was in the common space with them, took place on Thursday. I was not in the Seimas and in Vilnius in general on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, ”said the curator.
According to the National Center for Public Health, in addition to V. Juozapaitis and A. Kupčinskas, parliamentarians Jonas Varkalys, Viktoras Pranckietis and the president of the Seimas Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen also suffer from the coronavirus.
Fourteen parliamentarians have to isolate themselves, but some of them were in the Seimas on Tuesday because they assured that they had not received any report: G. Landsbergis, A. Armonaitė and K. Glaveckas supposedly had to isolate themselves, but they walk on the Seimas.
Subsequently, the Seimas Chancellery announced that it did not provide the names of those who should be isolated, but only those who may have been at high risk of exposure to COVID-19.
“This list is information compiled by the Seimas Chancellery about the contacts of sick people in the Seimas. It was presented to the National Center for Public Health, which continues the epidemiological study and informs people about the need for isolation, the deadline for isolation, etc.
The Seimas Chancellery does not have the authority to decide on the need or the terms of isolation, so the information provided to the media of the Seimas Chancellery about the members of the Seimas that “should isolate” is inaccurate, “said the Chancellery of the Seimas.
