According to A. Veryga, stricter restrictions should not be expected immediately after the elections, but they hint at the restrictions under review for both events and meetings.
“It just came to our notice then. It has been rightly observed that all parties, when possible, try to avoid a complete shutdown. Because this is a huge challenge not only for the economy but for the economy. What other countries have seen in the closure of educational institutions and the transfer to distance education still has a very negative impact on both the development and learning of children ”, said the minister in the Seimas before the session.
He stressed that the parties are not trying to avoid closure because elections:
“It just came to our attention then. Medical institutions have already been instructed to expand. covidinių number of beds as the number of patients grows “.
According to him, the more people who are infected, statistically more people will be in a higher risk group that will need hospital care.
Plans to review restrictions
“And I don’t know how to better explain that we have to be careful. Sometimes some reactions from the public are very strange: it is expected to be prohibited. Even if it is not prohibited, there is no way to put on a mask or keep your distance, it must be prohibited.
Surprisingly, he wonders why it is forbidden and not interpreted, and in other cases, on the contrary, it is interpreted instead of punishing. I think we can really focus, as it was in spring, so that we can be in solidarity and we must try to avoid the total closure of the country, ”said the Minister.
At the same time, the minister hinted that the government on Wednesday will not only consider extending holidays for students, but also plans to review other restrictions:
“It is planned to review the restrictions related to meetings, events, varied entertainment. Because it is not enough that children do not go to school, they should not meet elsewhere, for entertainment, meetings. That and this will be reviewed. “
When asked to specify how events would be specifically restricted, the minister has yet to do so. According to him, more precise solutions should be expected this week.
Ms Veryga was also unable to say whether the extension of the child leave would allow parents to take sick leave to care for their children. According to him, this will have to be coordinated with the Ministry of Social Security and Labor.
The situation does not improve
Commenting on the latest COVID-19 cases, the minister said 205 new ones were approved yesterday.
“We are chasing a weekend here when there is less investigation, it is not necessary to be happy about it, because there is less investigation, less cases. But in general, that percentage has not decreased since the investigation was carried out, so the situation is not improving, ”said A. Veryga.
