On Monday, the government’s emergency commission discussed a possible liberation of the population movement between municipalities. The government is proposed to free the population movement as of March 16.
“Our proposal to allow movement in all municipalities as of March 16 would no longer be this restriction. Except in those municipalities where the situation is really significantly worse and the incidence is higher than 500 cases per 100,000. population in 14 days, ”A. Bilotaitė told reporters on Monday.
According to Minister A. Bilotaitė, there are eight municipalities that exceed the rate of 500 diseases. She mentions only the morbidity rate, not the proportion of positive tests.
“Some municipalities have a significantly worse disease situation, there are up to eight municipalities with more than 500 diseases,” said the minister.
However, according to the Department of Statistics, so far 500 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000. only the Švenčionys district municipality exceeds the population indicator by 14 days. Specifically, the morbidity rate in this municipality is 100,000. population has reached 649 cases in the last two weeks.
According to Božena Zaborovska-Zdanovič, a representative of the Interior Ministry, told the portal tv3.lt, those municipalities where the positive proportion of Covid-19 tests exceeds 10% can also be announced as “black” municipalities. However, he added that the criteria has not yet been approved.
“All these criteria are only harmonized, they are not discussed, there is no decision,” said Zaborovska-Zdanovich.
However, if the movement will be restricted not only in the municipalities that exceed 500 cases per 100,000. population in 14 days, but also when the proportion of positive research is higher than 10%, there will be eight municipalities: the districts of Panevėžys, Kupiškis, Biržai, Švenčionys, Šalčininkai, Varėna, as well as the municipalities of Kalvarija and Marijampolė.
The government extended the quarantine until March 31. The restriction of circulation between the country’s municipalities was extended until March 15. As of March 10, practical driving trainings and exams will be renewed, non-formal adult education sessions in open spaces with a maximum of 5 participants.
