The Ministry of Health (SAM) recalls that if the number of cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in a foreign country in the last 14 days is 100,000. the population is 15 to 25 cases, foreigners from that country can come to Lithuania, but those who arrive must remain isolated for 14 days. If the number of cases does not exceed 15 cases per 100,000. population, such countries can not only enter, but those who arrive do not need to isolate themselves, the media said.

Meanwhile, Lithuanian citizens may come from any country, but for them, if the 14-day coronavirus incidence rate in that country is more than 15 cases per 100,000. population, it will be necessary to isolate for 14 days upon arrival in Lithuania.

Whether a person needs to be isolated when returning from abroad depends on the person’s original point of travel. This means that if a person has proof that they are traveling from a country from which isolation does not apply upon their return or arrival, they do not need to be isolated, even if they have traveled in other countries. But only if you have not stayed in those countries for business or other purposes. If the traveler does not have such proof, he will be subject to measures according to the last country visited, from which he will come directly to Lithuania.

It is important to know that those arriving by ferry from Sweden should be vigilant, as due to the increased morbidity in this country, they will be subject to 14 days of isolation upon arrival in Lithuania, even if the person traveled to the ferry in Sweden in transit from Norway or Denmark.

SAM also reminds that country lists change weekly, so travelers should keep track of this information.

It is also important to mention that if a country is included in the Lithuanian list, that does not mean that Lithuanians can be admitted, there is no common agreement between all the countries of the European Economic Area. However, the same conditions apply in the three Baltic countries: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

This new regime applies to foreigners from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Northern Ireland. No decisions have yet been made on the entry of foreigners from third countries.
