The NVSC submitted a proposal to immediately convene a meeting of the Radviliškis District Municipality Emergency Situations Commission to the Radviliškis District Municipality Administration.

“We will meet at 3 pm,” Antanas Čepononis, mayor of Radviliškis, later told BNS.

NVSC proposes to the commission to quickly solve the problem of the organization of investigation for coronavirus infection in Radviliškis, giving priority to employees of health care and education institutions, officials, merchants, pharmacists. In addition, consider the possibility of temporarily organizing the educational process in all Radviliškis remotely and solving problems related to teleworking in institutions, organizations and companies, where possible.

The decision of the Head of Emergency Operations at the state level, the Minister of Health, on allocations to the Radviliškis District Municipality Administration is currently being prepared.

According to NVSC specialists, Radviliškis Hospital is not coping with the situation, so there are fears of a further spread of the coronavirus outside the institution.

NVSC recalls that the center’s specialists, after conducting an unscheduled inspection at Radviliškis Hospital, identified violations of infection control that may have contributed to the spread of the coronavirus infection in the institution. As a result, the medical institution was instructed to immediately suspend the admission of new patients to the medical institution, that is, not only to the Nursing and Supportive Care Unit, but also to all other wards of the hospital.
