“The prime minister will cancel the visit to Macikus, the prime minister will not be isolated yet, but will avoid any contact until Monday, and on Monday we plan to test the prime minister and the members of his team who were at the event in Kryžkalnis,” he said Tomas Beržinskas to BNS.
The prime minister canceled the visit to the Šilutė district after Raseiniai mayor Andrius Bautronis announced that he was infected with COVID-19 on Friday.
On Sunday, the Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials attended the unveiling of a monument to the partisans in Kryžkalnis with the mayor of Raseiniai.
The presidency informed BNS that President Gitanas Nausėda, First Lady Diana Nausėdienė and other presidential staff members who had participated in the show in Kryžkalnis, Raseiniai district, will conduct coronavirus tests on Friday.
Justina Petravičienė, representative of the National Center for Public Health (NVSC), told BNS that the date of the event in Kryžkalnis does not fall in the contagious period, therefore the participants of the event do not need to be isolated.
“As far as we know, when a person is diagnosed with COVID-19, the days the event occurred were not considered contagious and those who interacted with it would not be considered high-risk individuals,” J. Petravičienė said Friday.
President G. Nausėda, Prime Minister S. Skvernelis, MPs, Ministers, etc. participated in the unveiling of the monument in Kryžkalnis on Sunday, where he visited the mayor of Raseiniai, who reported the coronavirus infection on Friday.
Due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus in the Raseiniai district, NVSC proposed on Friday to the municipality to restrict the travel of residents to other districts, introduce the mandatory use of masks in public and private spaces and ban private celebrations in public places.
According to the NVSC, 24 new cases of coronavirus were detected in the district on the last day. Of all, more than 100 people are infected here.
