Restrictions are introduced on arrivals from Poland, the Netherlands, Iceland and Cyprus.

The Ministry of Health (SAM) has updated the list of countries whose citizens or persons legally residing in them can enter Lithuania. Due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in Poland and Cyprus, arrivals from these countries must be isolated for 14 days from Monday, but the entry of foreigners will not be restricted.

Foreigners from the Netherlands and Iceland will be prohibited from entering. Returning Lithuanian citizens or foreigners from this country, arriving for work or with a special permit, must isolate themselves for 14 days.

The list, approved by decision of the Chief of Operations, will be valid as of Monday, August 10 and will be updated next week.

SAM reminds that this procedure applies to foreigners from countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Northern Ireland.

It is recalled that the countries affected by coronavirus infection are those with a morbidity rate of more than 16 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days.

The incidence of coronavirus infection in Lithuania has increased during the week from 5.7 to 7.6, but we still remain on the list of reliable countries. This means that Lithuanian citizens, as before, can come from any country.
