According to the survey conducted by Baltic Research in November-December, 17 percent. Young people ages 18-29 will welcome Christmas to family and friends, another 18 percent. – Invite friends or family as guests.
Older residents will try to swarm less.
Young people are in the mood baliavot. What quarantine can be applied here?
“It just came to our knowledge then baliavot. What quarantine can be applied here? What can be done here? Because it seems that our understanding of what it is to be careful with a virus has disappeared. It is difficult to explain what kind of quarantine can be applied here, when various apartments and people can gather on the stairs and celebrate, ”A. Veryga told reporters on Thursday.
“Young people do not assess risk unless they have people in their family who have already been exposed to COVID-19 and have suffered serious consequences,” he said.
People of all ages should be careful
The minister considered that even the officers or shooters who patrol the streets would not help to discipline the population of the country.
“During the Christmas period, everyone is equipped with uniformed people; I don’t know, it seems to me in some way distasteful and unpleasant. It seems to me that we were united in the spring, gathering in all kinds of voluntary initiatives, bringing food and medicine for my grandfather. What happened to us here in the fall … I don’t know. I don’t think any official scares me anymore. It seems that we would like to be destroyed, “said A. Veryga.
It became clear Thursday that A 27-year-old who died without serious health problems died of COVID-19.
In response, A.Veryga pointed out that even young people are not protected from this disease.
“Doctors have repeatedly said that there are no absolutely invulnerable people. <...> And the children are seriously ill: 16 years old, we have seen those stories described. Clearly, these are rare cases that complicate complicated disease, but there are. This means that you have to be careful regardless of the age of the person ”, said the Minister.
Due to the deaths, we really don’t know the reasons for the growth.
In general, according to A.Veryga, there is no data on the number of deaths from COVID-19 in Lithuania lately: “Because of the deaths, we really don’t know the reasons for the growth, because we don’t have such data. But they are not because we don’t choose them, but simply because the specific cause of nonviolent death is not objectively investigated. “
Terrified by the company’s decision to go to court
On Thursday, the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court began investigating a complaint from a dental and beauty services company about quarantine bans. This is the first known complaint about government bans on quarantine.
A.Veryga was horrified by the company’s decision to go to court and called it schizophrenia.
I can’t call it anything other than schizophrenia.
“What to call that situation here … I could call it psychiatric: she is schizophrenic. On the one hand, it is said why she is not taking action, on the other, it is required to buy something quickly and after a few weeks she is invited to STT, FNTT and so on. I cannot call it anything other than schizophrenia, “said the minister.
The government of Prime Minister-designate Ingrida Šimonytė intends to tighten the quarantine, but it is not yet clear how.

“I have the impression that the new government is trying to avoid painful decisions and demands that they be taken by the current government,” Veryga said.
It is said that a temporary hospital is not needed yet
The outgoing cabinet, according to him, adopted quarantine restrictions and waited two or three weeks for the measures to take effect, but A.Veryga did not begin to evaluate the plans of the new government.
“It will be a government decision,” said the minister.
Asked whether, considering the number of COVID-19 cases and the flows of these patients in hospitals, it is already necessary to install a temporary hospital in the Litexpo exhibition hall, A. Veryga answered that no.
“So far, I don’t think so, because there are still places and hospitals that can be used,” he said.
