On Friday, the list of countries most affected by the coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was updated. The list takes effect as of Monday, 27 July. From now on, the affected areas are considered to be countries with the coronavirus infection incidence rate exceeding 16 cases per 100,000 population over the last 14 days.
Foreign nationals arriving from the countries with the incidence rate above 16 are required to stay in isolation for 14 days, while isolation and testing for the coronavirus infection are mandatory to those arriving from the third countries included in the list of the affected countries. Isolation premises, transportation to isolation premises, transportation to the testing site for the coronavirus infection, and testing for the coronavirus infection for foreigners arriving in Lithuania for work or with special permits shall be provided and paid for by the employer, the inviting person, or foreigners themselves.
Lithuanian citizens returning from countries where the incidence rate exceeds 16 are required to stay in isolation for 14 days.
Travellers returning or arriving from the affected countries included in the list are required to register within 24 hours by submitting their details to the National Public Health Centre. The same procedure applies to Lithuanian citizens returning from those countries and to foreigners with an entry permit.
The list of the most affected countries is subject to weekly updates in consideration of the epidemiological indicators in foreign countries.
