From Wednesday – flights to Vilnius

With the gradual decrease in quarantine conditions in Lithuania, the first flights arrive. According to the minister, the first passenger plane to Germany will arrive in Lithuania on Wednesday.

Veryga He replied that the risk always remains, but essential services were never discontinued.

“Currently, institutions are only gaining momentum with planned services, it is not a simple process, they need to plan their work, organize them properly in terms of infection control, patients need a little more patience.” We will not return to the same level, some services will continue to be remote, of course those where risk can be managed and no research is needed. This is because institutions must organize certain time intervals and there must be a time interval between patients to ventilate and disinfect the facilities. Hospitals must maintain the COVID-19 reserve, “Veryga said.
