On the show, he assured her that surviving quarantine is quite a difficult task for him.
“I have to admit that the quarantine is a challenge for me. Apparently, as always in life, you understand what you only lost when you lose, learn to appreciate those things. Although I was not a special traveler, when I can not move, visit my parents, go where I want, I can’t meet friends … It’s a challenge. When you see children spending weeks in their locked rooms, it’s a bit worrying. And by itself, it affects both the psyche and the state physical. I really feel the quarantine in my skin, I understand what it is, “said A. Veryga in the program.
The interlocutor said that he did not feel this way during the first quarantine, probably due to the intense work.
“It was a period of mobilization in which there was no time to think about what was happening to you and what would happen. Now is the time to think about it. It is not an easy period, in every sense, “he said of the quarantine.
A. Veryga was asked to evaluate the minister’s already completed mandate. The politician said that he qualified it as average, not everything went as he wanted.
“It just came to our attention then. (…) I am very happy with what we have been able to do, that we have advanced a lot, not only in terms of alcohol bans, but also in general, changes in public health, mental health. Even on the health of the same person, much work has been done, “said A. Veryga about his work in the Minister’s chair.
He recalled that there was also often talk of work that had not been done, although the reorganization of medical institutions.
“If I was in the ten-point system, I would probably write 7. I think I achieved it on average, considering that I had absolutely no political experience and had to face difficult resistance from the first days,” recalled the interlocutor of the program.
On the show, A. Veryga joked that he could have been an adrenaline giver, but unfortunately no one needs him.

What mistakes were made in handling the pandemic?
After the Seimas elections, the experts, the new rulers, strongly criticized the outgoing government for the ungovernable second wave of the coronavirus and for the overly lenient quarantine measures. The former minister said it was not possible to see the real image at the time.
“When everything goes away and you see that there was a mistake somewhere, it is after the fact, you can only say it after you did not. For example, according to current knowledge, we would not really stop the planned health services, so it was really very scary, also for the doctors themselves ”, he mentioned one of the solutions that is now evaluated differently.
A. Veryga explained that this decision had undesirable effects: people were scared and neglected diseases.
“It was a mistake, but you can only see it now,” he said.
Another example, according to the interlocutor, is the decision not to impose movement restrictions during the weekend.
“The movement stopped during Easter, not on All Souls’ Day. (…) Remember, it was said that you should not punish and beat everything like a whip, but you have to tell people to appeal to their conscience and everything will be fine. Late was an obvious attempt to do so: the movement did not stop, but was actively communicated. Did you ask? No, they did not ask, “recalled A. Veryga.
The former health minister disagreed with criticism that experts had not prepared for the second wave of coronavirus predicted by experts.
“I just realized that I was not prepared. Even during the first wave of coronavirus, new structures were created that did not exist before.” It does not mean that everyone scratched their nose and sat on the beach, the action continued constantly, ” explained.
Former Health Minister A. Veryga said that the situation with the National Public Health Center (NVSC) was one of his mistakes.
“Then when the pandemic hit, we obviously saw systemic deficiencies, but they usually can’t be solved that way,” he said.
“It just came to our attention then. The deaths cannot be lost, everything is in the systems,” said former Health Minister A. Veryga on the news program “Great Defeats.”
