Also: a sparsely populated area
Due to the fact that the municipality of Pagėgiai goes out of the general context and enters the yellow zone, he was not very happy.
Today the situation is good, but tomorrow it may be the same as in all of Lithuania.
“Today the situation is good, but tomorrow it may be the same as in all of Lithuania,” said V. Komskis.
He listed several reasons why Pagėgiai was in a better position than other Lithuanian municipalities.
“We are careful, but another advantage is that the municipality of Pagigiai is a sparsely populated area.”
“The municipality reacts very quickly: if people get sick, we close and say that we will not allow it to open until there are additional tests. We are taking such harsh measures.
We know each other, the elderly know the people, they know who is returning from abroad, who is leaving, who needs to be quarantined. There is close cooperation with the police, said V. Komskis. “It is a common merit, but that does not mean that we will not be the same tomorrow.”
The outdoor cafes did not open
When asked about how the neighbors use the facilities of the released quarantine, the director of the administration pointed out that the outdoor cafes of the municipality do not work, but primary school children are already going to school, and graduates must return to the classes.

V. Komskis hoped that the rate of vaccination in the country would accelerate.
Now, according to him, they are not very good, although the elderly population is persuaded by family doctors to get vaccinated, relatives are asked to do so, trying to reach them through the elderly.
“The problem with vaccination is that the willingness of people 65 years of age or older to get vaccinated depends on children, so it is influenced by family members. Depending on the vaccination rate, we are probably seven or ten to go, so we are not vaccinating very well, but younger people want to get vaccinated, ”said V. Komskis and said that he contacts workers, such as police and border agents . , voluntarily vaccinated in the municipality.
“I think that now that vaccines will be available to people 55 and older, vaccination rates will improve. There will be even more who want, ”expressed V. Komskis hope.
