Today, the quarantine conditions that restrict business still apply across the country. One of the conditions for the operation of public catering establishments is that only take away food is allowed. However, Kaunas residents report that there is already a table in Laisvės Alley, where two women enjoy drinks and food.
Passersby questioned whether Mangal Café staff were violating quarantine conditions, allowing visitors to enjoy a drink at an outdoor table. In the passerby photo, the ladies are photographed sipping a drink not from a take-out cup, but from glass tumblers, so it can be assumed that the cafe visitors settled into the chairs with the employee’s permission.
It is true that an employee of the Mangal cafe who answered the phone assured that the chairs and a table at the entrance of the cafe were built for customers who waited for their food to be taken away. The visitor did not hear or see anyone sitting outside in the cafe.
A similar situation has already occurred in the café “101 Bakery”. A table and two chairs are also brought to the entrance of the catering establishment. They were both busy at the time. Two men were sitting at the table, probably drinking hot drinks and tasting locally bought scones, as there was also a paper bag on the table, usually containing cakes. Kaunas residents said that during the non-quarantine period, both in this place and in other cafes, when the weather warms up, tables and customers can go outside. However, now the situation is different and it is possible to enter a cafe, order food and take it away and eat it at home, in the office or elsewhere, but not in the cafe facilities or in an outdoor cafe.
Portal kaunodiena.lt wrote that such enjoyment with coffee or other beverages can lead to fines for breach of quarantine not only for businesses, but also for visitors who sit at the table.
Rimantas Vilimas, head of the Public Order Division, told the kauno.diena.lt portal that the amount of the fine provided for holders of legal entities or other persons responsible is 1,500 to 6,000 euros.
