At the same time, the interim minister claims that there is still some control over the quarantine rules.
“It just came to our attention then. We hear the police briefing every Monday; there are certainly a series of inspections, both at the outlets and in the municipalities. We saw those forces in the spring during Easter, when people were on duty at the entrances and exits of the city, but then they were very large and necessary, ”said A. Veryga at Seimas on Thursday.
He noted that the rifle team is patrolling the Christmas tree in Vilnius, plans to do the same, according to A. Veryga, and the riflemen in Kaunas. However, in the opinion of the interim minister, during the festive period, an extremely strict control by officials would not look good, as the people themselves are held accountable.
“During the Christmas period, everyone is equipped with uniformed people, I don’t know, I find it a bit unpleasant. It seems to me that we were really united in the spring and we formed all kinds of voluntary initiatives, bringing food and medicine for the grandparents. What happened to us here in the fall? I don’t know, “wondered A. Veryga.
However, he stressed that “no official will scare” the population now that it behaves irresponsibly and does not comply with quarantine restrictions.
“It seems that we want to destroy it,” summed up the acting minister.
Nauseda urges people to voluntarily comply with stricter restrictions than those imposed by the Government
President Gitanas Nausėda says that the new restrictions imposed by the outgoing government to stop the coronavirus are insufficient and urges people to voluntarily follow stricter rules.
Meeting with European leaders in Brussels on Wednesday on managing the COVID-19 situation, Nausėda told reporters earlier in the week that the government should follow the recommendations of health experts and scientists and “significantly reduce the number of contacts between families “.
“This is particularly important to achieve, because if we make a breakthrough in the next few weeks, we could welcome Christmas at least a little more smoothly. Unfortunately, not all of these measures were implemented, some of them were ignored. That is why I appeal to you, dear brothers: you can voluntarily follow the measures that have not been implemented by limiting the number of your contacts between families, “he said.
According to the president, we usually give gifts to loved ones at Christmas, but this time we can also give gifts to strangers.
And that gift is health, and maybe even life. For this reason, I ask again: let’s focus on how we have always done in difficult moments in our history and everything will turn out well, “he said.
The president also claims that the Saulius Skvernelis government has not been able to smoothly transfer all responsibilities to the new Lithuanian government.
“Unfortunately, in countries with a high political culture, the fluidity of such a transfer would have been greater. This did not happen in Lithuania and we see some completely unnecessary changes at the door,” he said.
In recent days, the number of newly diagnosed coronavirus infections has surpassed 3,000, and more than 30 people have died in the past two days. A meeting of the Council of Experts in the Presidency on Sunday proposed tightening the quarantine conditions. The cabinet tightened on Monday, but President Gitan Nauseda said they were not enough.
A government decision has banned more than two families or households from reuniting since Wednesday, seniors have switched to full distance education, supermarkets must tighten restrictions on customer flows, etc.
