The committee, made up exclusively of the Cabinet of Ministers and the Government Chancellor and chaired by the Prime Minister, was constituted in March, during the first quarantine, and its task was to assist the Government in managing the emergency at the state level by the COVID-19.
“The purpose of the draft resolution is to renounce the authority granted to the Government’s advisory body, the Government’s Committee for the Management of the Situation Caused by COVID-19, to manage a state-level emergency due to COVID-19,” says the resolution .
As Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said at a press conference on Wednesday, this committee has completed its mission: it has been formed specifically for your government and the future government will be able to establish its own advisory body.
If it is relevant to someone, it will be formed.
“It just came to our attention then.” It was our government and I, as Prime Minister, need an auxiliary institution to handle this situation, and today our work is coming to an end, so there is no point in having such a necessary committee to Prime Minister Saul Skvernelis, “he commented.
“Once the new government takes office, if it thinks one way or another is needed, it will take it (decisions – BNS), although apparently it will not, because the opposition has always questioned and questioned who is here through the committee “added the prime minister.
According to S. Skvernelis, to create a new committee “the tools are all there”.
“All those groups can be established by decrees immediately, if necessary. All the more so because the new Government, the new Minister of Health, has a plan of one hundred and thirty or so many pages or points, which does not necessarily correlate with what it is currently ”Said the Prime Minister.
“The extent to which the new prime minister will use the provisions of the government’s law – office commissions, committees, working groups – is already a matter for the other government,” he added.

The COVID-19 Steering Committee topic was included on the Wednesday prior to the meeting and was adopted in the first part of the Government meeting, where topics are generally adopted without discussion and without a detailed presentation.
Among other things, the government medical expert working group formed by the prime minister, headed by Jonas Kairys, an adviser to S. Skvernelis, was abolished as of Tuesday.
