Ginreta Megelinskienė, head of the Communicable Disease Management Division of the Vilnius Department of NVSC, told P. Poderskis that there was no sandbox in the square, although the children were playing there: But we saw the children playing and they playing in the sand, they swam in the fountain. We have seen these things. “
R.Juška continued his speech explaining that the beach at Lukiškės Square violated hygiene rules.
“How did operators have to arrange for the relevant accredited body to issue a safety certificate in accordance with hygiene standards,” he said, and asked why the relevant authorities did not issue such a certificate if they did not.
The entire city is a great playground, if so.
“The entire city is a great playground, if so,” said Karolis Žukauskas, advisor to the Vilnius mayor. – In the White Bridge, the children also play in the meadow. Is this order for this square to apply now or not? Will we now limit the places in each city where children can play and where they cannot?
“Dear ones, we do not meet to do demagogy here. There are hygiene rules, requirements, the operator and the municipality, as an organizer, must comply with them. Let us not simplify the meadow and other matters,” reacted R. Juška, and K.Žukauskas He then considered whether these issues should be addressed by the Commission for the Struggles for Freedom and the Historical Memory of the State.
Rita Sketerskienė, head of the Department of Health Security of the Ministry of Health (SAM), who participated in the discussion, said that the hygiene standard applies to beaches near bathing areas, playgrounds, but that the contractor, in this case the municipality, has to say what it is.
“And then the relevant legislation is applied,” said a SAM spokeswoman.
According to G.Megelinskienė, NVSC has received no official information on what item is in Lukiškės Square, therefore it is unclear how it should be kept. However, he warned that playing in the sand is risky.
It should be noted that this is epidemiologically risky.
“But it must be taken into account that epidemiologically it is risky, because sand is poured, children play in it, animals, as we have seen, walk in it.” So far we have seen: domestic, at night there may also be homeless animals. “Epidemiologically, we can assess that there is a risk,” said a representative from NVSC.
When asked to explain what it is through the object operating in Lukiškės Square, P. Poderskis noted that there is a “temporary facility created during the event” with beach attributes. This is how it is described in the documents.
According to P. Poderskis, the city management company Grinda tested the sand at Lukiškės Square in its laboratory: “It does this constantly. He also supervises. “
“Since the Vilnius city municipality has decided to take care of stray animals, they collect them if they occur,” said the director of the capital’s administration, assuring that the sand studies are carried out daily and promising to send his results. to the NVSC.
An NVSC spokeswoman said the locker room should be cleaned, disinfected, and dismantled daily. When this would be done, NVSC, according to G.Megelinskienė, has no data.
“We will definitely provide you with all the data,” Podersky promised.
Noting that P. Poderski’s beach was called a facility, Audronė Jankuvienė, “peasant”, asked ironically if the same could be done in a cemetery that does not work.
“His colleague said that we would not participate in demagoguery here,” Podersky said briefly.
According to him, the beach in Lukiškės Square with its construction will cost the municipality about 54 thousand. euros
“These funds were not foreseen in the annual budget,” said P. Poderski.
The annual budget did not foresee these funds.
According to P. Podersky, the project was created by an architect and implemented by the Grinda company.
According to its director Vidmantas Bezaras, the Department of Cultural Heritage was not aware of the installation that would be installed in the center of Vilnius. The municipality, he said, had to report whether it had planned to place an advertisement in the building or if it had repaired any structures.
“It just caught our eye then. We wrote a request to the Vilnius municipality for a representative to come with all the necessary documentation,” said V. Bezaras.
