“Three new cases of coronavirus were detected in Kaunas County, two in Vilnius, one in Klaipeda,” Rolanda Lingienė, director of the NVSC Vilnius department, told BNS.
According to her, two cases were detected in Kaunas at the logistics company Hegelmann Transporte, which has become the focal point of a coronavirus: a driver and an instructor who had received training had contracted an infectious disease. According to the NVSC representative, both people were infected in Lithuania by long-distance drivers from Uzbekistan.
“The instructor did not initially present himself as a high-risk person. During the contagious period, the woman had contact with 12 people, with seven of them at work, “he said.
A total of 19 cases of the disease have been identified at this facility.
“At first, we calculated that there should be 20 infected people, but we adjusted the data and saw that one of the infected Uzbeks was examined twice, and we treated it as two different cases,” explained R. Lingienė.
In Kaunas County, the infection was also detected in a sports coach.
“He had symptoms on July 11 and went to the hospital on July 14. According to preliminary data, 16 people had contact,” said the director of the Vilnius department of NVSC.

“Another case in Vilnius County: An employee at Vilnius Airport was infected with a coronavirus. He had no contact with the travelers. He is an administrative employee,” he said.
According to the NVSC representative, three people with contact at work were identified, ten in the immediate environment, five of them, in the family.
According to her, the sixth case was confirmed in Klaipeda – the company “S. Jurkus ir partneriai” cashier. The infected person told public health specialists that he visited the Gariūnai market on July 4, but the NVSC has no further data yet.
