“Yesterday there were cases in all ten counties. The highest number of all counties is recorded this time in Kaunas, in second place Klaipeda, Vilnius. However, there is no county left where individual cases are registered, ”D. Razmuvienė said at a press conference held at the Ministry of Health on Friday.

According to her, a large proportion of new cases are identified after contact with already infected people. However, emphasizes D. Razmuvienė, a large part of the citizens could not say how COVID-19 was infected.

“The vast majority were infected by those who had contact with those who were already diagnosed with a positive coronavirus infection. There are most of them. 138 could not say where he was, who he contacted. The circumstances of the infection remain unclear, “he said.

Complicated situation in medical institutions

According to the epidemiologist, 1,325 doctors have fallen ill since the start of the pandemic. There are currently 721 doctors with COVID-19. According to her, it is now difficult to distinguish a specific medical institution, in which only new cases of infection would be registered, because all health institutions are already affected.

“In practice, it would be very difficult to distinguish the medical institutions where new cases of disease are registered, because throughout Lithuania, all personal medical care institutions, whether higher or lower, or their profiles, different areas, are registered throughout Lithuania”. – said D. Razmuvienė.

The epidemiologist also reported on the new outbreak in Plungė district.
“The newest fireplace is in the Plungė district. The Stonaičiai welfare home is located here,” he said, adding that the virus could have been transmitted after the family celebration.
