The professor was not surprised that this week there was a record incidence of coronavirus incidence. On Wednesday 138 cases of COVID-19 were identified.

“It just came to our attention then. I’m following what’s happening in Europe. The increase is in all countries. In France, for example, quarantine is even being introduced in some areas from Saturday to Sunday. This is Marseille, Guadeloupe. There is a very high increase in Paris, “said A. Laiškonis on Thursday in the program” Question of the radio “” Question of the day “.

The professor said that, first of all, we must understand that each of us is responsible for the growing number of patients.

The infectologist advised the residents to think about whether it is really very important for them to organize family celebrations this year: birthdays, name days.

“I have never seen a single person sneeze or cough into the elbow,” said A. Laiškonis.

Proposes tougher measures in “burning” regions

According to him, health strategists should already think about tightening measures in areas with high morbidity. The professor suggests limiting the massive events there.

“I spoke a couple of months ago that mass event organizers must respond that all pre-epidemic measures are taken at the events they organize. I mean festivals, sporting events, performances.

At the moment the decisions in our country are determined by the economy, but in a couple of weeks we will have a situation in which there will still be the flu, it is certain that the measures must be hardened. Our National Public Health and Emergency Centers should not wait for the whole of Lithuania to burn, but in those regions where there are difficult situations, they should take stricter measures to limit meetings, “said A. Laiškonis.
