Vilnius County Donaldas Dubaka, head of the Third Police Station of the Vilnius City Police Chief Police Station, said the main task next weekend is to inform passengers about compliance with quarantine conditions.
According to him, the Vilnius and Naujoji Vilnia train and bus stations will be inspected. Passengers will be checked on the ramp to ensure that there is no confusion and that trains do not deviate from schedules.
“The controls will be carried out continuously, both inside and outside the train. They will be held not only on the platforms, but also in the waiting room, ”said D. Dubaka.
According to him, passengers will have to justify the circumstances of their trip to other municipalities: people will be able to travel if they have presented documents on real estate in other municipalities, work in another city or have to see a doctor.
The official said that so far, considering the pandemic situation in the Vilnius region, residents are following the requirements fairly fairly and not collecting too much.
Tickets have already been returned by 90 people
Linas Baužys, director of the Lithuanian rail passenger transport company LTG Link, called for the cancellation or cancellation of unnecessary train trips. He ensured that anyone who wishes will get their tickets refunded.
“To my knowledge, after yesterday’s message, there were 90 people who wanted to get their tickets back and cancel an unnecessary trip,” he said.
According to L. Baužis, if the police “turn over” a person during the trip, the money for the train tickets will be refunded.
He assured that the inspections should not affect the delays of the trains, nor adjust the departure times.
When asked how to wear masks on trains, an LTG spokesperson said crew members carefully examined passengers and warned them if necessary.
Not everyone knows the limitations yet
Passengers interviewed at the Vilnius train station have different views on the police checkpoints. The young man traveling to Kaunas said he did not know that the necessary documents should be available now.
“Like there should be restrictions on the weekend?” He asked.
The guy said he arrived in Vilnius on Thursday, where he met a relative. He also said he was unaware that violations of the restrictions were subject to fines.
Another passenger, Eugene, said he travels by train regularly and was checked by the police for the first time.
“It is mandatory, you will do nothing. I drive once a month, that main purpose is work. For the first time such an inspection.
I had heard that I would start checking, but I thought only next weekend, “the man said.
Self-assess if you really need to travel
Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė said Wednesday that a large number of police and other services will be scrapped to ensure security over Easter weekend, and asks people to assess whether travel is really necessary.
“I sincerely ask that we all concentrate and not drop the gin from the bottle, so this weekend it will be specially prepared. More than 3,300 officers will be used to secure movement restrictions, shooters will be invited to join, the Public Security Service, SBGS, PAGD, the military police will come to the rescue ”, explained A. Bilotaitė.
“I would like to sincerely address everyone and point out that there will definitely be stalls, cars will stop, so assess the situation if you really need to go,” the minister said.
According to her, the police will pay attention not only to ensure movement restrictions, but also to ensure control of public spaces, verify information about public gatherings.
Last day, 869 new cases of coronavirus were detected in Lithuania, 8 people died from COVID-19, 744 people recovered, the Department of Statistics announced on Thursday.
