Litauen setter opp veisperringer for å stanse julereisende

Litauens hovedstad Vilnius.

Det blir ikke så lett å kjøre hjem til jul i Litauen i år. Det settes opp 250 veisperringer rundt om i landet for å hindre smittespredning. Det melder NTB-AFP, ifølge Nettavisen.no

Som flere andre europeiske land har Litauen innført restriksjoner for reise innad i eget land for å hindre at koronaviruset sprer seg. Likevel frykter myndighetene at mange gir blaffen i forbudet, som gjelder til 3. januar, for å komme seg hjem til jul.

Derfor settes det opp 250 veisperringer rundt om i landet. Kun de som skal på jobb, legebesøk eller i begravelser får passere.

Det er innført streng nedstengning etter en smitteoppblomstring i høst. Alle butikker som ikke selger essensielle varer, er stengt, og befolkningen har fått beskjed om å holde seg hjemme.

Litauen har nær 2,8 millioner innbyggere.

Litauens hovedstad Vilnius.

Regjeringen i Litauen stenger ned landet i tre uker for å få kontroll på den økende smittetrenden i landet, som har 2,8 millioner innbyggere.
Det er onsdag registrert 639 nye smittetilfeller i Litauen, noe som er tre ganger så mye som det daglig smittetallet i landet for to uker siden.

Low-cost Hungarian airline Wizz Air has announced the addition of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius to its Iceland network – with more destinations possibly in the pipeline, the icelandmonitor.mbl.is website reports.

According to Icelandic tourism and travel news website turisti.is (link in Icelandic), Wizz Air will begin their service to Vilnius in October 2016 and will operate the route all year round.

Wizz Air already links Iceland and it’s capital Reykjavik to Gdansk and Warszaw in Poland, and Budapest, capital of Hungary.

Gabor Vasarhelyi, Communications Manager at Wizz Air, told turisti.is that the airline is not ruling out the possibility of further direct links to Iceland, with cities in Romania, Serbia and Ukraine the most likely candidates.

Georgia has already marked its friendship with Lithuania by opening a park in honour of the country in 2009. In 2011 the Tbilisi Mayor’s Office renovated the wall at Vilnius Square, and as a symbol of the country’s friendship, displayed the work of Georgian and Lithuanian artists.
