The Lithuanian government on Wednesday extended the coronavirus lockdown and the ban on non-essential travel between municipalities until March.
"I suggest that at this stage we make the decision that basically extends the date of the current restrictions, but (...) we'll return to these issues every week, or even several times a week," Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte told the Cabinet.
The Cabinet approved the Health Ministry's proposal to extend the lockdown measures through February 28. These include inter-municipal movement restrictions, except for cases when people travel to their place of residence in another municipality, travel to other municipalities due to relatives' death, travel to work or for work-related reasons, to and from international travel places.
