The focus was primarily on beauty service providers. 491 of them were inspected last week.
In the eighth week of this year, that is, on February 22. Until the 28th, joint forces of the NVSC and state food and veterinary specialists, Lithuanian policemen and representatives of the country’s municipalities inspected 67 non-food trade places, production companies, markets, footwear standards, etc. There are also 13 health institutions, 11 accommodations, a solarium, sports clubs, laundries, swimming pools, 9 grocery stores, 4 educational institutions and 2 institutions of social services for hospitalized patients.
Inspections showed that most of the people met quarantine requirements, but violations were found at 13 beauty care locations. No irregularities were found in the other sectors examined.
The main violations recorded at the beauty services locations: respirators not wearing respirators and the unsafe designated area for the customer were not announced to visitors about the need to comply with hygiene requirements.
Nor were measures provided for hand hygiene and disinfection. The most common injuries are non-medical masks, that is, shields or cloth masks. Current regulations require service personnel to wear medical masks or respirators, and visitors over the age of 6 must wear nasal and oral protective equipment (masks, respirators, or other devices) that fit comfortably and completely cover the nose and mouth. . The use of masks is not allowed to people with disabilities who, due to their state of health, cannot use the masks or whose use could damage the health of the person, only in this case the use of a mask is recommended.
During the inspections, specialists from the Vilnius Department of the NVSC also took an interest in how beauty service providers followed the recommendation to conduct a one-time prophylactic examination for COVID-19 disease (coronavirus infection) before starting work. Unfortunately, only half (51%) of the people had completed the study. Most of them (73%) indicated that the study was not done because it was not mandatory, some mentioned that they were afraid, others did not think it was necessary because they felt good or because of the pregnancy. It should be noted that this study has no effect on the course of pregnancy, completely harmless to the fetus. The NVSC calls for accountability and the opportunity provided for COVID-19 preventive testing.
