Minister: arrivals to undergo more thorough checks on Lithuanian-Polish border

"We are appealing for people's awareness as those arriving from affected countries or travelling in transit via affected countries should self-isolate. Our services will also take more active steps to check incoming people and police and border forces have been activated," Tamasuniene said in a statement.

In her words, services are working at an increased capacity, adding that the government is also considering getting the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union involved.

As reported, people arriving to Lithuania from Poland are required to self-isolate for two weeks.
