“It is unfortunate that we have wasted a lot of time considering whether to take the hardest or the most compromising path, and morbidity statistics continue to break new records.
We are all interested in reducing the number of infections and the burden on the health system as soon as possible. Human lives depend on it. That is why, before today’s government meeting, we also discussed with the Prime Minister the new measures proposed by the experts to strengthen the quarantine. I agreed that they are needed at this time. But its period of validity should depend on the epidemiological situation. The government will have to review the quarantine measures adopted today as we work together to reduce the spread of the virus, ”the president wrote on Facebook.

G. Nausėda regretted that the weeks of the strictest quarantine coincided with St. Christmas and New Year period.
“It just came to our attention then. However, this is a unique opportunity to protect each other.
I invite you to know the big parties this time without the usual shopping marathon. We will celebrate the holidays in a modest and cozy way, only in the closest circle of our family. In this way, we can all ease the burden on doctors. We can give a break to doctors, residents and nurses fighting COVID-19, “writes the head of state.
According to G. Nausėda, in a few weeks a reliable and safe vaccine will arrive in Lithuania, then everyone will have the opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and return to normal life.
