“We plan to stop all cars, but if there are a lot of traffic jams, a different tactic can be chosen,” said Ramūnas Matonis, spokesman for the BNS Police Department.

According to him, only trucks carrying goods should travel freely.

“We will not detain them because the goods can move freely unless there is a suspicion that a passenger is being transported there,” said a police spokesman.

In total, the Police will install 250 checkpoints at the entrances to municipal centers on Friday, which will have surveillance cameras, prohibition signs will be placed and part of the entrances will be blocked by technical means.

Police warn drivers not to try to outsmart.

“The advice is simple: if it is not necessary, it is better not to go anywhere. If you are traveling, you should have documents that demonstrate the purpose of the trip. We should not try to find ways to avoid the checkpoints, how to move around the neighborhood marginal, “said R. Matonis.

“There will definitely be severe penalties: fines of 500 to 1.5 thousand euros,” he added.

The blocking stations will be installed from Friday at 1 pm until Sunday at 9 pm.

In total, more than 900 police teams will work in the country during the weekend, and they will also be assisted by more than 300 shooters and about fifty military policemen.

A driving ban between municipalities has been introduced to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
