Lithuania reacted to the quarantine very quickly. Once there was a third confirmed case, Lithuania closed down its borders, enforced a nation wide quarantine (all non essential shops were closed, people are now legally obliged to wear masks in public, it's illegal to have gathering of more than one person in public). We now reached 1000 sick and 17 dead, but 50 have recovered yesterday alone. It's expected that we've now reached the breaking point and that the numbers will now start decreasing.
When the first cases in Lithuania begun, one of the confirmed ones was my friend (let's call him Fred) whom I haven't seen for three months. He was studying in Denmark and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. There, he also had a party, in which one of my closer friends (Let's call him Matthias) also participated. Fred soon got sick with high fever, was hopsitalized and tested positive for COVID. My friend Matthias, upon finding out, then called the COVID hotline and told them he was exposed to Fred (they drank from the same bottle and shared the same vape). The hotline told him to quarantine himself for two weeks and call them if he feels any symptoms. Despite being exposed to Fred in such intimate ways, two weeks passed and he felt no symptoms whatsoever. He then called the hotline again and was told that if he's feeling well and has no symptoms, he may no longer isolate. Given the contagiousness of this virus, it's a real miracle. Fred is also recovering already.
