With the rapid rise in morbidity rates in Lithuania, it is proposed to close non-food stores on weekends and tighten control over work during quarantine. Beginners are also offered an early winter break.
This was discussed today at a meeting of the Head of State with members of the Council of Health Experts.
Edita Sužiedėlienė, a professor at Vilnius University, says the expert council proposes to close non-food shops on weekends and thus restrict the movement of people.
“The group of experts proposes to consider, at least as a minimum tightening measure, the closure of non-food outlets – shops, except pharmacies, veterinary, optician, orthopedics, on weekends and Friday afternoons from 5 pm, “E. Sužiedėlienė quotes BNS.
According to her, it is also suggested to think about the time spent buying people at risk.
“To give that risk group some protection from the general flow of shoppers at the points of sale,” said the professor.
It is also important to increase the area currently established per buyer in closed points of sale.
According to her, it is necessary to ensure remote work in the workplace, stricter control of work during quarantine.
“The proposal would be that telework is compulsory for all institutions, not only public, but also private, where it could be guaranteed, where there are opportunities,” said E. Sužiedėlienė
There is also a proposal for stricter controls on the organization and compliance with the quarantine conditions in the workplace, proposing the adoption of quarantine work plans with a clear list of non-teleworkers, one worker per room and, if not it is possible, mandatory masks. , restricted contacts in common areas, mandatory contact registration, as well as an action plan in the event of a COVID-19 case, “he added.

“Basic secondary education continues to be provided at a distance, where it is provided with certain breaks, so we recommend that education be transferred to a distance method until the situation improves,” said K. Petrikonis.
According to the teacher, it is also proposed to allow only those children whose parents do not have the opportunity to work remotely to attend kindergarten.
“When assessing the scientific recommendations and the situation in Lithuania, we offer preschool educational institutions, mostly kindergartens, to visit only those children whose parents or guardians do not have the opportunity to work remotely,” said the professor.
According to him, he intends to test doctors, nurses and other employees of medical institutions more frequently.
These issues were discussed when President Gitan Nausėda met with members of the Council of Health Experts on Sunday.
The meeting was also attended remotely by Prime Minister-designate Ingrida Šimonytė, Health Minister candidate Arūnas Dulkys, Deputy Health Minister Kristina Garuolienė and Acting Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis Health Advisor Jonas Kairys.
Outgoing Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and Health Minister Aurelijus Veryga were also invited to the meeting, but did not participate.
“As the number of infections increases, the smooth assimilation of the work of the new government and continuous and effective solutions are especially important. I appreciate the participation of Prime Minister-designate, Ingrida Šimonytė, in the activities of the Council of Health Experts, which adds the hope that the change of government will take place with the least possible disturbance, ”said G. Nausėda after the meeting.
