Another reason for the deceased is waiting for answers.
“The person was treated at the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital, he was diagnosed with a coronavirus after his death, but the cause of death is still being clarified, so it is not clear whether the cause will actually be COVID-19 or other cause of death. ” Another case of death: a person was also hospitalized in the same health care institution, internal medicine department and, after the detection of COVID-19, was transferred to the Santara clinics, where he died, “said R. Lingienė.
According to the head of the Vilnius department of the NVSC, a request was made to the Vilnius City Municipality to organize a mobile checkpoint near the house on Pergalės Street, as was done in V. Grybo str. located house.
“We have received a response that, due to the heavy workload, the administration does not intend to do so.” However, once again, I urge employees of the Vilnius municipal administration to find an opportunity to investigate the residents of this place, because, as I mentioned, we have very reasonable doubts that they will go to other stops, “said R. Lingienė.
“1 case is also related to the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital, a family member of the discharged person became ill, therefore 6 out of 12 cases are related to the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital . Case 1 is related to UAB Vilnika, a close relative of the employee who became ill. Furthermore, which is very worrying, a case was registered yesterday in Vilnius, on the Pergal str. home, a third person fell ill. The epidemiological situation in this house is especially unfavorable, because the majority of the population uses common kitchen and sanitary facilities, ”said R. Lingienė.

The exact details will be released on Saturday morning.
R. Lingienė said that from Thursday to Friday there were 5 more cases of coronavirus at the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital. Currently, 31 people, 11 employees and 20 patients of this hospital are sick.
“COVID-19 has also been confirmed in the close relatives of 6 discharged individuals. We are also monitoring the links between the focus of this infection and the Antavilių pension, Pergalės street, Vilnius municipal company, Vilnius public transport.
Yesterday <...> This hospital has been found to have significant irregularities related to the risk of spreading a contagious disease. “The flow of feverish and feverless patients and staff in the admission department continues to be inadequate, personal protective equipment is not worn correctly, and sufficient distances are not maintained between patient beds in the cardiology, resuscitation and intensive care, “said R. Lingienė.
The violations have already been directed at various institutions, and on Monday, according to R. Lingienė, violations of the public interest will also be directed to the Vilnius Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
