“I think it is really a miracle unless it happens that the quarantine will end on May 31. I think this will definitely not be the case, the government will prepare a new version of the resolution so that everything is clearer and more understandable,” said A Veryga.

The minister says quarantine is like a legal virus control regime and must be continued.

“In order for us to handle import cases, to properly manage infection within the country, a quarantine regime is needed. I can only remind you that educational institutions return only in a certain regime and it is suggested how to return to them, many are established regulatory conditions, quarantine as a regime, I think, will definitely last a long time, “said A. Veryga.

The conditions for residents on what they can do are relaxed, the SAM chief recalled.

Thursday the mask removal is offered in public places.

As Minister Aurelijus Veryga said at a press conference on Tuesday, the government has a proposal to lift the requirement to wear face shields in public places in the near future. According to the Minister, with the gradual relaxation of the quarantine conditions introduced in Lithuania and the decrease in the number of infections, the obligation to wear protective equipment in public places may disappear. At a press conference on Wednesday, Veryga said the decision could take effect starting Thursday.

“If the government decided today, that provision would take effect tomorrow, but I would like to remind you that those protection measures will not disappear everywhere. They will disappear only in part from open public spaces. In some open areas where people congregate, such as In the markets or other places where people congregate, the requirement to use these devices will remain and it is not suggested to abandon them. As I said, if the government agrees, these changes can take effect starting tomorrow, “Veryga said.

As Ms Veryga said, if the upcoming elections did not change significantly, it would probably be possible to keep them safely as usual, only taking into account distance and other safety measures.

The Minister also mentioned that currently the greatest threat is again posed by new cases not imported into the country, but imported from other countries.
