The hopes of compatriots born before Easter to freely reunite with their loved ones were dashed not only by the spread of the “British” coronavirus mutation, but also by news of the South African variation. If the pandemic government had previously considered larger quarantine releases, it is now thinking more of a more difficult scenario.

There will be no freer Easter

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė made it clear that the introduction of COVID-19 strains into South Africa threatens to tighten the quarantine. According to I. Šimonytė, this means not only a faster spread of the virus, but it can also cause problems on the issue of vaccination.

“We will look at the information on where the spread of the PAR mutation (COVID-19 – ELTA) has been identified and then we will consider what steps should be taken to prevent it from spreading too much, as this is already a risk for vaccination. Other. varieties have a higher risk of getting sick, maybe more difficult to get sick, and here we are talking about the risk of vaccination, and this is not something we can joke about, ”said I. Šimonytė.

The government is already considering different quarantine scenarios based on municipal indicators. I.Šimonytė had little knowledge of Vilnius.

You will also get vaccinated on weekends.

While the government looks for solutions, vaccinations in Lithuania should also take place on weekends. The Ministry of Health (SAM) has announced that it has been agreed with mayors of cities and districts that the vaccination of the population will take place both on Saturday and Sunday.

And Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys announced on Tuesday that his health had deteriorated a bit after vaccination, but reassured everyone, it should be.

“Symbolically bathe the injection site. Body temperature 37.3 – 37.9. Pleasant, as in childhood, chills – wrote A.Dulkys. – So, a possible side effect: a visit to memories. I feel good. Shoulders for freedom. Do not hesitate!
