“It does not mean that the resolution, as it is now, will be in full force for a whole month. This means that the Government still has no reason to modify the quarantine regime according to the classification of situations publicly discussed by the experts. We are still in the worst category, despite the fact that the situation has improved significantly since the end of last year, “said I. Šimonyt dijo at a press conference held after the meeting.
However, he stressed that the situation, although it improved, was not good enough to lift the quarantine regime completely.
According to her, the Government and the Government Emergency Commission will consider weekly what changes can be made in light of the epidemiological situation at that time.
“We have not yet moved from scenario D to scenario C, which could allow us to talk about some bigger cuts or more cuts,” the prime minister said.
According to I. Šimonytė, the situation is not improving as fast as before.
“Quarantine produces the best effect from the beginning.” We will continue to need both additional measures and additional solutions for preventive and focal tests, so that we can reduce the number of cases beyond the level that we have reached, “said I. Šimonytė.
Speaking of restrictions on movement between municipalities, the Prime Minister also highlighted that the situation is dynamic, the situation is not as good as expected, so it is not yet possible to promote greater mobility.
Obviously promoting mobility would not be a good idea in this context, but that does not mean that these mobility restrictions last until the end of February. The situation is so dynamic that we will review all restrictions, including this one. However, the quarantine decision itself will definitely be valid until the end of February, ”explained I. Šimonytė.
According to her, the government will discuss the measures of the quarantine regime as early as Friday, but it is not worth waiting for some decisions to be made on the release of restrictions on movement between municipalities, the prime minister emphasized.
“There may be discussions about other solutions and activities, but I don’t really promise anything. We will have more data on Friday, an analysis by government analysts presented to ministers.”
Prime Minister: NVSC still unable to trace cases
The Prime Minister also noted that the traceability of cases stopped when the threshold of 200 cases per day was exceeded.
The National Public Health Center (NVSC) is responsible for this.
“It is very unfortunate, but for various reasons, the NVSC still cannot do its job for us to track those cases. Finally, there are still a large number of those cases, we are talking about around 1000 cases a day. It is obvious that these are much more than the 200 in which this institution has lost the capacity to perform this function, ”said I. Šimonytė.
Greater quantities of vaccines are needed to achieve the goal of vaccination.
He wondered if it was realistic to achieve the goal set by President Gitanas Nausėda: vaccinate 70% by mid-summer. the Prime Minister responded that this depended on the delivery schedules of vaccines to the country.
“If we have a vaccine for two-thirds of the Lithuanian population, it is real, of course. But if we will have a vaccine for two-thirds of the Lithuanian population, of course, after receiving it not from June 30, but constantly throughout the entire period, I cannot confirm it with the available knowledge, ”said I Šimonytė.
