What should I do if had been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and have received a SMS message but had been vaccinated according to the full vaccination schedule less than 120 days ago?

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SELF-ISOLATE.

THE SELF-ISOLATION DOES NOT APPLY to the person vaccinated against COVID-19 according to the full vaccination schedule* when no more than 120 days after the last dose have passed (this does not apply to the persons up to 18 years of age vaccinated according to the full vaccination  schedule).

*Full vaccination schedule means that 14 days after COVID-19 vaccine dose have passed: after  the second dose when vaccination schedule consists of two vaccine doses, after one dose when vaccination schedule consists of one vaccine dose, after at least one vaccine dose when vaccine was administered to a recovered from COVID-19 person and diagnosis was confirmed by a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test.

Before terminating your self-isolation, the NPHC has to verify the fact of vaccination according to the full vaccination schedule and number of the passed days, therefore,  please submit the following information at e-mail [email protected] (you are not required to self-isolate while waiting for the response):
•    Name, surname,
•    Personal identity  code,
•    Telephone number at which you have received the SMS message,
•    PLEASE ATTACH a document proving vaccination against COVID-19, e.g. EU digital COVID certificate.  
NOTE. The National Certificate or a paper-card received after vaccination IS NOT ACCEPTED.

It is recommended to take a PCR test no earlier than on the 3rd day after contact (except of recovered individuals who have been diagnosed with a PCR or antigen test less than 90 days previously). You can register through the 1808.lt system by selecting "Vaccinated or recovered persons with high-risk exposure to COVID-19 who are not subject to self-isolation".  You will have to limit the number of people you interact with for 14 days from the last day of exposure. Employed people are only advised to go to work and home if it is not possible to work remotely.

When communicating with other persons, it is recommended to wear personal protective equipment, monitor health status, measure body temperature, maintain physical distance from other persons, ensure proper hand hygiene, cough and sneeze etiquette for at least 14 days from the last day of exposure to someone with COVID-19. If symptoms characteristic of COVID-19 occur, please self-isolate immediately and register for PCR.
