However, it was later clarified that the 130 COVID-19 deaths reported on Friday included people who died earlier but were not reported by hospitals, the National Public Health Center (NVSC) reported.
“It just came to our knowledge then. These are late deaths that we were not properly informed by medical institutions. They were asked on our own initiative to send us that information,” said Austina Vžesniauskaitė, representative of NVSC.
According to her, after receiving criticism for unaccounted for deaths from COVID-19, the center contacted hospitals to provide information on the deaths. This must be done by medical institutions by filling in a special form.
The institutions responded to this request and there was a large increase in deaths in one day.
A. Vžesniauskaitė emphasized that this information was provided later and not through the fault of the center.
“We cannot predict how many deaths there were in each institution that were not reported to us,” he said.
The Statistics Department has informed BNS that it is currently verifying these figures. According to preliminary data, the actual number of deaths per day may reach several dozen.
