According to Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, if the statistics of coronavirus cases in Lithuania continue to grow, there is a possibility that the country will be “closed” again: a strict quarantine will be introduced. However, Mr. Skvernel emphasized that this would be extremely damaging.
“If we see that the situation is changing in exactly the same proportions, it is not stabilizing and it is already going beyond households, then the solutions will be different,” S. Skvernelis said on Thursday on the “Pozinių” news program.
“The virus is nowhere to be found, we have to adapt, but do everything we can to keep the economy afloat, because if the country were to shut down, it could be a very fragile step to collapse,” the prime minister said.
I say very honestly, there is that possibility.
According to him, there are circumstances that again in the country need a very strict quarantine regime.
“I am very honest, there is that possibility. (…) If that exponential growth, which doubles every two weeks, begins to accelerate and we reach 600-800 cases, it would take more than 8 weeks to return when everything is completely closed , a total quarantine is introduced. And what would be the consequences for our psychological health, our health, our economy “, said S. Skvernelis.
According to the prime minister, people’s behavior will determine how the situation will develop further. At the same time, he stressed that the population must be careful and “do everything possible to handle the situation.”
