In evaluating Prime Minister Saulius Skverelis’s statement on a possible nationwide quarantine, A. Veryga made no secret that it could somehow happen.

“As the question is theoretical, the answer will be very theoretical. It may happen that the quarantine is announced in Lithuania or it may not happen. Everything will depend on how we manage to manage it, on how we manage to face the challenges that inevitably arise.

We see that, at least temporarily, this or another health center stops working or does not accept new patients, there are problems with human resources. We must see this, monitor it and react accordingly, ”A. Veryga told reporters on Friday.

In turn, when assessing the situation of these months due to the spread of COVID-19, Rolanda Lingienė, head of the Vilnius department of the National Center for Public Health, hinted that the Covid-19 had returned to some medical institutions with an explosion .

Raseiniai quarantine option: for the whole country?

He recalled that such a situation had arisen in Raseiniai, a local quarantine had been announced. According to the Minister, according to a similar model, in theory, something could be similar in Lithuania, if such a need arises.

“But even if we look at the conditions of the Raseiniai quarantine, neither hairdressers nor other service companies completely stop there. There are simply set conditions that must be met in order for services to be provided.

The same occurs with trading venues, where there is simply an obligation to regulate flows and comply with other necessary measures. Clearly, if the situation were to become truly critical, the areas where people congregate would be seen first. These are various events and meetings. It is forbidden to do so in Raseiniai, except at high performance sporting events.

It could be something similar in Lithuania, but I would very much like to hope that we are aware, protect ourselves and do not need anything similar on a national scale, ”he expected.
