“Talking to the analysts, if we are successful and maintain such trends, then from Scenario C to Scenario B there is a possibility of entering another battle. But here it is anticipated that no force such as mutations will work for us, and if the partial changes will not have negative consequences ”, said A. Dulkys in the program“ Events of the week ”.
The health minister told the program that how risky the decisions already made by the government are “depends on everyone together.”
“The very fact that our people have achieved the result that since mid-December, when we had almost 1,500 cases, 100,000. population in 14 days. We have already reached the indicator of about 300 cases, he says that we can consider, and we can do something together, and change something in our lives, but very gradually and with a lot of scrutiny, ”said A. Dulkys.
Attached to indicators
The Minister of Health explained in the program that government decisions on quarantine are linked to specific indicators and scenarios. This is fulfilled.
You can read about what releases are expected in a particular scenario here.
“One of our main goals in mid-December, when (…) the Council of Experts was formed, was to define quarantine scenarios and share them with the public. The principle was that we are not talking about dates, but about indicators, we motivate society to achieve them together ”, said A. Dulkys.
After the decision to reduce the limitations, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė asked the company for two things: to carry out tests before starting work and to provide the services in the safest possible way.
The Minister of Health clarified that along with the decisions of the Government additional requirements are established in terms of area and measures. They vary according to the nature of the activity. At the same time, however, he emphasized that “we must all show trust among ourselves.”
“In recent months, we have seen that the majority of the public follows the recommendations very well,” said A. Dulkys.
The Minister explained that the possibility of inviting tests was due to the reduction in symptomatic cases and the release of mobile points and laboratories.
“Subsequently, a mechanism will be activated, where the company will have a compensation mechanism for further tests,” reported A. Dulkys.
If we fail, we will return to times of tougher restrictions.
If the number of cases started to grow again, as the Minister explained, we would return to the next scenario accordingly.
“Our plan to change restrictions is a matrix of actions. First of all, there is the possibility to do some things not only at the national level but also at the municipal level. If we see that there is a very marked improvement somewhere in the municipality, then we can change something else.
In the plan when the government approved it, we are in Scenario C. But that plan also has Scenario D, which contains very clearly written indicators. If the indicators begin to deteriorate, the Government would return to the measures that are in Scenario D with its decisions, which would mean the introduction of certain hardening again ”, said A. Dulkys.
The masks are still under discussion
As the Minister explained, the freest life regime is foreseen in the case of less than 25 cases. 100,000 population, and the proportion of positive tests would be less than four percent. This is the so-called scenario A.
“But let’s remember that it would be much more than it was in the case of the first wave,” said A. Dulkys.
According to the minister, the requirement to wear masks outdoors is still under discussion.
“According to the current view, from what we have discussed, at least wearing masks outdoors is probably (would be optional) in Scenario A. (…) But we are still continuing the discussion. We have to analyze the whole set of measures, ”said A. Dulkys.
The minister said that a lot also depends on the success of the vaccination.
“We have already vaccinated almost the entire medical community and we already have other results. Infections of doctors and patients and the appearance of outbreaks have decreased dozens of times. The change is huge, ”said A. Dulkys.
