The surprise was disturbed by the image seen in Trakai over the weekend: wearing those masks is really a threat.

G. Surplys told a news conference about the image seen in Trakai over the weekend: some walk without protective masks, while others push the mask on their chins.

“I would like to share my personal experience. Yesterday my family and I visited Trakai. And really the image was so disturbing. Out of sight, every third and fourth person actually walked without a mask. Or the masks were worn with the mask lowered under the chin. And then the situation is complicated for the police. When a person wears an ear mask but does not cover his face, a police officer may recommend that he wear that mask.

The image of this weekend, not just what I testify, was a little intimidating, showing that people are accepting that freedom without much responsibility. It really represents a threat to those around them, “G. Surplys, head of the Public Information Group, said at a government press conference on Monday morning.

“We still need to wear masks, we have to do it. It is not a demand, but the protection of others and of ourselves, ”he said.

He said police officers produced 42 protocols on violations of quarantine conditions this weekend. The vast majority of them: due to witchcraft, non-compliance with distance and the non-use of protective masks.

Ramūnas Matonis, Head of the Communications Division of the Police Department. Delphi Reported that police officers, when the mask is used incorrectly, can recommend using it properly.

“Police officers suggest wearing a mask in an orderly manner. You see, the government decree does not clearly regulate how the mask should be worn. It is written that it should be worn, it may be a matter of controversy here,” said a spokesman for the police on Monday morning.

“Officials warn thousands of people and fine several hundred. Basically, we constantly emphasize that we more often warn people and punish only those who are malicious,” said R. Matonis.

Delphi recalls that the quarantine in Lithuania was announced in mid-March, the latest of which was extended by government decisions until the summer, on May 31. Wearing protective masks is mandatory.
