It is also reported that COVID-19 patients are not directly admitted to the hospital as there is a supporting COVID hospital; patients are admitted to the hospital only under the direction of the Santara Clinics of the main Personal Medical Care Institution (ASPI) – Vilnius University Hospital (VUL).
Therefore, patients who develop the need for hospital services after the diagnosis of COVID-19 must first go (or be transported) to the ASPI – Center for Infectious Diseases of the VUL Santara Clinics.
