The Head of Government spoke about this on Monday on the LRT program “Topic of the day”.
“There will certainly be a debate on the additional restrictions that could be imposed on cross-border travel, as perhaps even countries with a much lighter or longer quarantine regime are proposing a number of changes recently,” he said.
“Someone is canceling flights, someone is asking for a priori (pre-BNS) testing before boarding a plane, so we will also discuss whether additional measures are needed,” he added.
The Health Ministry confirmed to the BNS on Monday that in early January a Vilnius woman had been diagnosed with a strain of coronavirus that had spread in the United Kingdom.
Currently, several mutations in the coronavirus that cause COVID-19 are being observed around the world, threatening to increase the rate of spread and the consequent deterioration of the epidemiological situation.
All visitors to Lithuania from the countries on the list of affected persons must have a negative COVID-19 test result of no more than 48 hours. before arrival, or to take an exam upon arrival in Lithuania and be isolated for two weeks.
The self-isolation period may be shortened if the COVID-19 test is done on your own on the 10th day.
Arrivals from countries where coronavirus mutations have been detected should be isolated in a separate apartment or house, on another well-insulated floor of an individual apartment or house, or in a separate isolated room with a separate toilet and bathroom.
Isolation is only possible with people traveling together, with the exception of minors who can live with family members who do not travel and who must isolate themselves for the same period.
Arrivals from other affected countries can walk 1 km, leave the isolation site without informing or permission from the National Public Health Center according to the established list of reasons.
In addition, they can be isolated in the same apartment with non-traveling family members, only in another room, restricting movement in the home and reducing the sharing of common space.
All people in transit through Lithuania do not need to isolate themselves or conduct an investigation.
