Based on these data, it appears that before the first officially announced disease, there were already 4 known cases in Lithuania.
SAM April 28 a table distributed in the morning
How Delphi Rolanda Lingienė, director of the National Center for Public Health, explained, the curve of the coronavirus epidemic describes the cases on the days they were diagnosed.
“The curve is for the date of the disease. When the doctor records the disease, then there is. I don’t get a message, not a bit more. For example, we can get data today and add to the curve (disease sketch – Delphi) three days ago. Sometimes there are delays in reporting to health facilities, for example in the coming nights. This is not the date of the announcement, but the date of the disease, ”explained R. Lingienė.
When asked if this means that a person was diagnosed with coronavirus that day, R. Lingienė confirmed that this is exactly what the table reflects: the date of diagnosis.

When asked how it could have happened that the first case of coronavirus infection was reported only on the 28th, and in the table of epidemics the first case is marked on the 21st, R. Lingienė said he had information to verify.
The NVSC chief later assured that the journalist would be contacted by a specialist from the center, but so far he had not called.
Meanwhile, Lina Bušinskaitė, the representative of A. Veryga, reported that an error had been entered in the table.
“NVSC is correcting that error. And the error occurred because they didn’t count from the day the cases were recorded, but rather when the people felt the symptoms. This is basically like an incorrect calculation,” L. Bušinskaitė said.
Noting that previously NVSC liked that the diseases depicted in the diagram when diagnosed, L. Bušinskaitė responded: “No, not when it was diagnosed. Definitely not. I spoke to Lingiene myself, NVSC corrects that error. “

Malinauskas: it can’t be like that
However, Skirmantas Malinauskas, the former head of the Public Information Group, claims that the first case in Lithuania was recorded exactly when it was reported. The interviewee is convinced that there is no possibility that the diseases have occurred before.
“It just caught our eye then. The first case was exactly when it was reported. The story is this: We have been waiting the whole time for that to happen, there was a clear consensus that we would report immediately. I am around 11pm – 11.30am pm I go to the shower at home, Zimnickas, the head of the laboratory, calls me and says: “I cannot call the minister, he may be asleep, but we have the first case,” recalled S. Malinauskas.
Finally, according to him, we were able to contact A. Veryga as well. S. Malinauskas himself assured when asking to explain what procedures would be carried out and learned that the services would be lifted on his feet, specialists would come to establish contact with the infected person, the case had to be reported to the ambulance team and the hospital manager.
“It was obvious that the neighbors would see, and the doctors would know, and that information would be disseminated.” That means that we do not wait for the morning, we meet at three at night because it is the first time, and we announce. That is the history.
What is published now, I have no idea. 21 d. There really was no case, not even any language. Most likely it is a total inability to handle the data, “said the interlocutor.
Skirmantas Malinauskas
S. Malinauskas regretted that accurate information is not made public, because even before the announcement of the first case, there were many conspiracy theories that the cases were hidden, because A. Veryga is on a business trip and S. Skvernelis is wrapping up their vacations.
“I have heard it many times and have done my best to dispel any doubts,” said the former head of the Public Information Group.
Veryga was on a business trip to the USA. Skvernel was on vacation in Spain
According to a chart published by the SSC and compiled by the NVSC, the first cases of coronavirus in Lithuania appear to have been diagnosed when Health Minister A. Veryga was on a business trip to the United States and Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis was on holidays in Spain.
Even before the announcement of the first disease in Lithuania, information from various sources about people who were already sick had reached the media, but this had not been officially confirmed.
Both A. Veryga and S. Skvernelis returned to work on February 27 and already on February 28. 3 p.m. A 39-year-old man from Šiauliai infected with coronavirus was reported at a press conference held unexpectedly on the night of.
“This is a 39-year-old woman, the laboratory has confirmed the presence of coronaviruses, all necessary procedures are currently underway. We will explain more in the morning, there will be a press conference at 9 pm – the night of February 27 at February 28. A. Veryga spoke and added that the woman had returned to Kaunas from Verona, in the Veneto region of northern Italy.
