“At this time, when the head of operations (state-level emergency – ELTA) is no longer in control of a situation where there are many diseases, we realize that we must stop activities so that the virus does not spread yet more. We are still a social business, “he told Eltai.
However, Mr. Pranka regrets that the government has previously failed to take into account the stricter measures proposed by employers to curb the spread of COVDI-19 in restaurants and nightlife.
“We regret a little that in the past, when we proposed stricter measures, the same August registration, inspection of discos and bars (…), the authorities did not listen to it, they did not want to start using them. This is very strange to us. And it was only in the last two weeks that the obligation to request mandatory registration occurred to me, which was obviously too late, ”said R. Pranka.
Entrepreneurs expect 100 percent to close when necessary. compensation of rent and salary, emphasizes the president of LBKA.
“We understand that when the situation has become unmanageable due to stupid decisions, we have to close. And we want a normal compensation: 100 percent. We refund rent and wages for the time we are not working. That would be logical and normal (.. .). Similar measures were taken in the spring. It was very strange for us to introduce some measures: we did not ask for 30% to be paid, less taxes, etc. “, he said.
Mr. Pranka also noted that he hoped to reach an agreement with the Government on adequate compensation and that no savings would be realized at the expense of this business segment.
“It just came to our notice then. It is not necessary to sit for days and think in formulas. In monetary terms, we are not a very important part of the Lithuanian economy, but it is very important for tourism. And our sector does not generate as much money as they (the government – ELTA) speak. That’s why we find it strange why we want to save. Also, we hope that, like during the spring quarantine, tax payments will be deferred. We are glad this was agreed at that time. And now We expect the same, “Elanka told Eltai.
The government is introducing universal quarantine in the country starting Saturday. Additional restrictions were also decided during it.
The work of public catering establishments will be finished, only food will be allowed to carry, there will be no special restrictions for food stores and pharmacies, other stores will need to provide at least 10 m2. meters per buyer.
