“There is an economy, we have noticed that with the liberation of small companies, hairdressers and similar activities, the situation does not get worse. It is not that it is improving, we are in a phase where the situation is not improving as we would like. Little by little we are solving problems that we can still open and we see how this is dynamically changing the situation ”, says V. Grigas.
V. Grigas explained that the area per buyer is not yet completely cleared and would be calculated according to the formula. And the store in general would not be limited, it is important to guarantee entry from the outside.
“The size is based on a certain formula and that size is debatable, not to mention that there are 15 square meters. m, and elsewhere 25 square meters. meter. A decision will be made that will satisfy all parties and will be epidemiologically safe, ”says V.

Access to the stores, according to experts, would be possible through the use of medical masks or respirators, restricting access to more than two people at a time. Supermarkets could ensure that shoppers can purchase a medical mask on the spot and other masks or cloth protectors cannot be used.
Such an offer would be relevant for large non-food stores, such as IKEA, Senukai, Moki-veži or others.
Supermarket deals – in the near future
It is not yet proposed to open stores in supermarkets; the impact of individual store openings on the pandemic situation should be assessed.

“We will see how the virus will behave, its variant, which already exists in Lithuania, and is different in different regions, we will definitely focus on that,” says V. Grigas.
The plan to release quarantine restrictions, prepared by the same panel of experts, provides for more conservative measures to liberalize trade in the face of a better epidemiological situation.
“This plan, which we must adhere to and, in part, actually fulfill, is a guide. We fully understand and react to the situation, suggestions are made, because if we wait for those moments and do nothing, then who is this expert advice and other actions for, we would only wait for the indicators ”, says V. Grigas.
To be decided by the Government
The final decision on the experts’ proposal will be made by the Government; it can be adjusted or rejected.
“The issues could already be discussed in the government, what decision the government will make, from when it will be applied, it is their right to do so,” said V. Grig.
