How Delphi Stankūnas said, “the light at the end of the tunnel” is currently visible, but, the professor cautioned, just by looking at the statistical changes, there is no need to relax.
“If we look from 4 thousand. To 1.5 thousand. It seems amazing the progress we have made. In fact, it is, but try to imagine yourself in September: if someone had told you that you would have 1.5 thousand new cases every day in January, I would say we are panicking, “said the LSMU professor.
According to him, the situation, although it has improved, is still not good.
“The situation is incomparably better than in December because then we were in an epidemiological nightmare. Our entire health system was a long way from “folding”. Now we have managed to achieve an incomparably better situation, but that incomparably better one is not good, ”said M. Stankūnas.
Renewing schools is a priority
Education professionals, educators and parents are extremely concerned about the consequences of distance learning: according to them, children are immersed in virtual space, they lack live communication and ultimately the acquisition of knowledge is is affected.
Speaking of this problem, prof. Stankūnas said that he was well aware of such anxiety, as he was the father of three children.
According to him, the renewal of the educational process is a priority for everyone.
“Every day I see that something is not working, we are not doing something, I live it directly. Most likely, those schools will open gradually. And the first opening was already presented to you yesterday. In fact, there are children who, for some reason, find it particularly difficult to study at a distance, ”said M. Stankūnas about the government’s decision yesterday to allow children with difficulties to study at a distance in school buildings.
According to the professor, experts also have a vision for a greater openness of the education sector.
“Most likely, in the second stage, schools for beginners and graduates will be opened for reasons that everyone understands better. For graduates, because of better preparation for exams, for beginners, because they really need the help of a master, ”said M. Stankūnas.

However, he noted that when planning this phase, it was necessary to discuss all possible models on how this could be done in practice.
“Those children will come together, they will share, whether they keep those masks or not … Of course, there is a risk that the virus will regenerate and spread.” … Consideration is being given to what kind of opening and mechanism could being the best, which could bring science back and minimize risk, “said the LSMU professor.
He explained that experts are currently discussing a wide range of models, reading the experiences of other countries, discussing how the learning process should be organized in such a case.
Assess business risk
Speaking about the quarantine restrictions established in the country, M. Stankūnas emphasized that all experts have one goal: that the restrictions are not maintained at all. However, according to him, it is necessary to improve epidemiological statistics.
“All the experts and I take a principled position to remove all restrictions as soon as possible,” said M. Stankūnas.
The businessmen sent letters to the government with requests for permission to operate. Traders say they would commit to the highest security measures. You can read about it here.
When evaluating the requests from employers, M. Stankūnas stated that some meetings of experts and the Government are held together with representatives of business associations. According to him, everyone understands the difficulties that small entrepreneurs face.
“We have a great knowledge of business, there have been many meetings with business representatives, the Prime Minister herself is present and is very aware that it is an experience for people, small entrepreneurs do not receive that income. That thing (release of restrictions – aut.p.) will be done ASAP. We are trying to see (…) which business areas are the least risky, ”said the LSMU professor.
According to him, experts will assess the risk of business sectors. It is considered that companies that do not have many long contacts with customers could possibly resume operations.
“We understand perfectly well that, for example, if a jeweler brings a watch or a ring to repair, he sits down, manages it and that contact is completely minimal. (…) We take this (analysis – aut.p.) very seriously and will try to associate trade openness with risk. There are several studies in which relative risks have been calculated. We will try to start with that, “said M. Stankūnas.
