The minister said the isolation rules would be revised and could be shortened for some people.
“Data were presented on the duration of isolation in sick people. The generalized conclusions of the researchers are presented. Therefore, there is an optimistic knowledge that people who have even been infected but have mild symptoms are disinfected quickly enough.
It is now about 10 days, so after this meeting we will review the self-isolation rules. Science does not stand still, there are cases where it does not make sense to keep people in isolation unnecessarily, ”said A. Veryga after the COVID-19 committee meeting.
Physician approval would be required
According to him, there will still be discussions with epidemiologists, but the new data would no longer be considered contagious for 37 days. The most important thing is to have symptoms.
A person is now considered to have recovered after receiving two negative tests per day or 37 days after the onset of infection. Asked how this system would work now, the Minister stressed that it has not yet been put in order, only the recommendations have been presented.
“But it is emphasized that the test itself is not that important, because the parts of the virus itself can be found long after the symptoms have passed, but that in such a situation a person is no longer contagious.
And one of those important things is the presence or absence of symptoms. Therefore, it is likely that the duration of isolation can be shortened, ”the minister commented.
According to A. Veryga, with the approval of a doctor, the isolation procedure could be shortened.
What would you limit first?
Although the spread was recorded in all counties in Lithuania over the weekend, the minister emphasized that hot spots were being monitored and local measures were being applied.
“We do not exclusively see areas where the situation is different, where some measures must be applied. If the situation continues to spread, the situation will get worse, the first restrictions would be where there are gatherings of people ”, said A. Veryga.
The minister added that the situation was discussed at the meeting. The good news is that the situation in Raseiniai is gradually stabilizing.
The numbers are alarming
The head of state operations stressed that the current figures do not allow to calm down.
“It just came to our knowledge then [mažesnis nei savaitgalį atvejų skaičius, – aut. past.] there is no reason to calm down.
Just look at other countries, where no one is concerned, there are no preconditions for a decrease, because the climate is colder, people spend more time indoors, ”the minister told the press.
Veryga spoke about the new possible restrictions on election night. At the time, he acknowledged that elections were now in mind, but that further restrictions would have to be considered as of Monday.
“Not now, but next week we’ll probably have to consider it. Now really the choice in mind.
It is too early to talk now, because we will have a meeting of the Covid-19 management committee on Monday morning, we will see what happens with the statistics, how the hotspots are managed and then we will decide with the epidemiologists, ”said the Minister of Health .
