“In fact, we are seeing numbers that have been significantly better this past week than before the big holidays of the year, when we actually saw a very high number of COVID-19 cases per day. What we emphasize and see is the decrease in the number of people who have had contact, ”J. Petravičienė told Eltai on Saturday.
“As we have repeatedly emphasized, the reduction in the number of people exposed has also led to a reduction in the number of cases due to the fact that we have fewer people who may have been at risk of developing COVID-19, which means that fewer people get sick, “he added. Hee
The NVSC specialist emphasizes that these positive signs are a consequence of public awareness.
“It is really a compliment to the public that they have taken calls from professionals to cut contacts, stay at home, not interact with people we do not live with. ” She said.
NVSC workload has not decreased yet
However, J. Petravičienė states that so far the workload of NVSC employees is not decreasing, because according to her, large outbreaks are still recorded both in nursing institutions and in various companies.
“However, the number of cases is still quite high, we have a number of outbreaks, which should probably stand out. And we have big outbreaks in nursing and supportive care institutions, where our specialists have to go,” said J. Petravičienė.
“The situation is improving, but at least I still cannot speak of decreasing burdens,” he also emphasizes.
Vilnius County remains a hot spot, but the number of cases is rapidly decreasing
J. Petravičienė also claims that Vilnius County remains the red dot with the highest number of coronavirus cases. Still, an NVSC spokeswoman says the number of infections in the county has halved in a week and a half.
“If we compare for a week, probably a week and a half ago, even before the big holidays of the year, we were counting record numbers in Vilnius County, with 1,100 and 1,200 new cases of COVID-19 a day, for example, we registered 518 cases in Vilnius county last day … We see this by halving the number of cases in about a week and a half, “said the NVSC specialist.
It maintains that infections are more frequently reported in families, as well as a number of confirmed cases in which the circumstances of the infection are unknown.
In some cases, as clear places of contagion, because a person mentions that they have visited several supermarkets, that they have visited some places, that they have had a brief encounter with some people that they may not know at all and that they do not know if they are really sick ”. – noted the representative of the NVSC, emphasizing that the whole world is facing this trend.
