In addition to three metropolitan areas, quarantine is being introduced in the district municipalities of Šilalė, Širvintos, Telšiai, Trakai and Vilnius.
People who live here will be required to wear masks in all public places with rare exceptions. It will not be necessary to wear masks outside of residential areas when there are no other persons other than family members within a radius of 20 meters.
The municipalities in the quarantine zone will have a stricter restriction of the flow of people in cultural, leisure, entertainment and sports institutions: they must guarantee an area of at least ten square meters per visitor.
In total, the quarantine regime has been introduced in 21 municipalities in Lithuania.
Health Minister Aurelijus Veryga also announced that he would propose to the government on Wednesday to ban events and meetings. If approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, spectators would no longer be admitted to professional sports matches. These bans would go into effect on Friday.
“It would be established that all events and meetings organized in open and closed spaces would be prohibited, except for high-level sports competitions, which are held without spectators. This means that all competitions in the stadiums, which until now have been held with spectators, will have to take place without spectators, ”A. Veryga told reporters.
According to A.Veryga, the ban on cultural events for the disabled, where tickets are sold electronically, ensures access control and a distance of two meters between spectators.
