Before the plenary session of the Seimas, A.Veryga told reporters that due to the increase in the number of new COVID-19 infections, no new restrictions are planned.
“Once again, I can repeat once more that there is a look, an attempt to really look at the cities, the individual areas where the infection is spreading, and take action where it is still spreading. Cities are already applying those measures, banning events or pulling out. Where it is seen that it is spreading intensely in educational establishments, going to distance education for a period of time, placing workers in distance jobs. They are measures that are applied only to the extent that it is not for the entire country, it is where the spread is greatest ”, said the Minister of Health.
According to A.Veryga, most of the new cases of COVID-19 are in the same foci.
“Raseiniai, Radviliškis, Šiauliai,” he noted.
When asked about the rapid increase in the number of people suffering from coronavirus, A.Veryga said that people do not necessarily listen to the recommendations. Certain things are supposed to be programmed.

“We move, we communicate, we meet to work, we come back from vacation, we go to school. These are all objective things that only allow people to get to know each other, communicate, and allow the virus to spread. These are not special explanations here, apparently we won’t find them. Since the virus did not go away in Lithuania, we had it. We did not have zero in the summer, not even on the best days (the number of new cases, red. Past). It has not been like that with us. And that was where it spread: we meet, communicate and distribute, ”said the Minister of Health.
Vaccines – only for those who want
Ramūnas Karbauskis, president of the ruling Lithuanian Peasants and Greens Union, said Thursday that vaccination against the coronavirus would not be mandatory..

A.Veryga also emphasized that no coercive action will be taken because of this.
“Those who bully society unnecessarily cause additional stress. We must not be intimidated, but simply interpret ourselves in a simple and normal way using scientific arguments, not intimidated by the fact that everyone will be forcibly vaccinated and will seek a way to hide, ”he said.
Veryga said that educating the public about COVID-19 vaccines will use doctors who can explain and have confidence.
“Because, you know, one is when politicians speak, the other is when doctors speak, which the public can trust the most. Of course, we will also ask for the help of family doctors, because people often go to them and trust is one of the greatest ”, explained the Minister of Health.
