Wearing masks In Šiauliai State University of Applied Sciences is no longer mandatory but recommended
In the light of the epidemiological situation and the declining workload in the health sector, the requirements for wearing masks and self-isolation have changed from Monday, April 4th.
Taking into account the decision of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Lithuania and the State Commander of National Emergency Operations, since April 4th the use of medical face masks or respirators that completely cover the nose and mouth in the indoor premises of Šiauliai State University of Applied Sciences is recommended.
A decision of the State Commander of National Emergency Operations has waived the mandatory requirement to wear masks indoors, with the exception of health, care and nursing facilities and public transport.
Although the wearing of masks is not mandatory, it is still recommended indoors where it is difficult to ensure safe distance, ventilation, or it is crowded. The use of masks in health, nursing and care facilities and in public transport remains mandatory.
The self-isolation of COVID-19 patients is reduced from Monday to five days because of the characteristics of the predominant strain of coronavirus, i.e., shorter incubation period. The need for longer isolation will be decided by the physician after assessing the patient's medical condition.
