Speaking of possible launches for companies, S. Krėpšta admitted that it must be done in a differentiated way, but without causing the spread of the virus. Also, according to the advisor, a clear plan is needed, calculations of why specific releases are made.
“Probably the fact is that it is really possible to differentiate in terms of business liberalization and those areas with separate entrances, larger areas, less traffic. Of course, if the situation is correct, if the virus continues to be suppressed, it would be possible to release them earlier than in the most risky places, ”says S. Krėpšta.
“Hopefully more details will be revealed next week, and hopefully it will be based on expert opinion, based on calculations and good practices from other countries,” said the president’s adviser.
Of course, in the right situation, greater suppression of the virus would allow them to be released earlier than in riskier locations.
The government’s emergency commission on Monday proposed extending the country’s quarantine until early March.
