Opening hours restrictions for cafes and bars lifted

The Lithuanian government's decision on lifting opening hours restrictions for cafes, bars, restaurants and other catering facilities comes into force on Thursday.

Up until now, they could open from 7 a.m. until midnight.

But just as so far, they will only be able to serve visitors having a national immunity certificate inside their premises. Such certificates are issued to those who have been vaccinated, have had the virus or have a negative COVID-19 test.

For people who have had the virus and have not been vaccinated, easier lockdown conditions will apply for 210 days, not 180 days as so it has been so far.
