“The institution was able to prepare for the second wave during the summer: to strengthen its processes, data exchange, data analysis so that politicians can make decisions based on data, not numbers,” it did not happen, Ingrida Šimonytė told reporters at the Seimas on Thursday.
He said politicians don’t know what solutions would be most effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19 because they don’t know where the virus spreads the most.
“The worst part is that we don’t know what decisions can be made because we don’t know where the main sources of infection are. The acting minister says everywhere, but the same is the same everywhere, “said I. Šimonytė.
“The problem is that the National Public Health Center, without any control over the situation, cannot say where the greatest risk is, where the restrictions should be applied,” he added.
“It just came to our attention then. Some of them may pay more, others less. It is a problem to become invisible,” the prime minister-designate said.
He criticized the NVSC for not conducting all epidemiological investigations.
“If an institution falls into a coma after 200 new cases per day, it is obvious that the processes in the institution are not working properly, the data processing is not working properly and the decisions themselves are not working properly,” said I. Šimonytė.
In the past, the NVSC has also been criticized by some members of the President’s Council of Health Experts for conflicting or insufficient data analysis.
The NVSC reported this week that in November, epidemiologists examined 86 percent. confirmed cases of coronavirus, which fully conforms to European Union standards.
Last day, a record 2,450 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Lithuania and 17 people died from the coronavirus.
Since the start of the pandemic, COVID-19 has infected 67,000 people in the country. 66 people, 39 thousand. 377 – still sick, 26 thousand. 836 – recovered. A total of 564 people died from coronavirus in Lithuania.
