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.
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.
