“If such restrictions are needed, which are essentially restrictions on curfew, that is, what applies in many European countries anyway, probably in almost all European countries there are restrictions on just leaving home, then the Seimas I should already ask you to set those restrictions. ” I. Šimonytė told reporters at the Seimas on Thursday.

The curfew can be introduced after a state of emergency has been declared. It can be published by the Seimas.

“It is about the fact that if we do not agree and we do not agree and we do not follow the rules by understanding the seriousness of the situation, it will simply require some coercive measures and greater supervisory powers, the application of the law to monitor it “, said.

He said the need for such measures would become clear “in the coming days” with the latest data on population mobility.

“We will evaluate more recent mobility data and if we see that mobility has not decreased enough, it will probably be necessary to consider measures that could reduce that mobility, and those measures would already be the prerogative of Seimas,” said I. Šimonytė.

A stricter quarantine regime went into effect in Lithuania on Wednesday, during which many shops, barber shops were closed and the movement of people restricted.

After the introduction of the curfew, it is prohibited to be in public places without special permission and identity documents in the territory where the state of emergency has been declared.
