As Kristīne Dulbinska, the head of the municipality’s Marketing and Public Relations Department, informed LETA, the municipality’s Social Service has identified companies that will be able to supply food and basic necessities to the population affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
Municipal police, on the other hand, will intensify checks on residents so that they keep a distance of two meters from each other in public places and observe muster restrictions.
At today’s extraordinary meeting, it was also decided to intensify informing and educating the public about the necessary precautions to reduce the risks of Covid-19 spread.
To inform parents of students on Tuesday, September 29, at 6 pm, a digital parents’ meeting will take place online on Kuldīga accounts “YouTube” and “Facebook” with the participation of Kuldīga County Council Chairwoman Inga Bērziņa (JV) and Deputy Director of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (SPKC) Ilona Liskova , said Dulbinsky.
Parents are invited to submit questions in advance to the e-mail address “[email protected]”, as well as questions can be asked during the live broadcast.
In the future, each cultural, sports or tourism event will be decided separately, with specialists assessing the potential risks.
Today, it was decided to cancel the Golden Autumn Fair planned for October 3, the representative of the municipality said.
The information provided by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (SPKC) shows that a total of 27 cases of Covid-19 infection have been confirmed in Kuldiga this week, all of which are related to the manufacturing company SIA Kuldīgas tekstils.
As reported, the SPKC has identified contacts for infected people who are in isolation and do not go to work or education. The general practitioners of the contact persons are also informed. The contact persons include students of several Kuldīga educational institutions and also individual employees.
Jolanta Krūmkalne, a member of the board of “Kuldīgas tekstila”, explained that the sick employees and their contact persons are in quarantine for 14 days, but the other employees of the company are in self-isolation.
“Currently, the company is closed, of course, customers suffer, because we will not deliver very important orders during this time. We hope to resume work in ten days with those employees who are in self-isolation, but before that we will perform repeated Covid -19 analyzes for them,” Krūmkalne added.
Yesterday, on September 24, Covid-19 tests were also performed for all employees of SIA “Saules ieleja 3” who work in the same building as “Kuldīgas tekstils” and who provide catering in several Kuldīga educational institutions. All tests are negative, so the infection has not spread to this company, concluded Dulbinsky.
