The COVID-19 pandemic in Latvia is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Latvia on 2 March 2020, having been brought along with people returning from abroad.
The government declared a state of emergency on 13 March 2020 with a number of epidemiological safety measures and restrictions, primarily limiting gatherings, travel, most public venues, and educational institutions. As the new confirmed cases stayed in the low two-digit range per day, the emergency was periodically extended until mid-2020, when the confirmed infection case dropped to almost 0 and the state of emergency ended on 9 June 2020. Most restrictions were lifted.
The rates spiked again by the end of September, from a few dozen per day to low hundreds by November, and many of the restrictions were restored and tightened, including a range of new ones. Eventually, a new state of emergency was reinstated on 9 November 2020 with increased rules and restrictions, while the daily cases reached close to one thousand by the end of November. The number of cases kept rising at the turn of the year and the state of emergency was extended to 6 April 2021. The vaccination programme began at the start of the year.
Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[3][4]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[5][6] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[7][5]
Timeline
January 2020
On 31 January 2020, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia updated their travel advice, calling on travellers not to travel to Hubei and assess the need to travel to China in general. It also recommended everyone returning from China and experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus infection to seek medical advice and information about their travel and contacts.[8]
February 2020
On 3 February, a Latvian citizen living in Wuhan was evacuated with a French government plane and taken to Paris, where she was quarantined for 14 days before being allowed to depart to Riga.[9][10] On 11 February, Latvia donated protective clothing, masks, respirators and other epidemic prevention and control supplies to China.[11]
On 27 February, Estonia confirmed the first COVID-19 case, an Iranian citizen fell ill on board a bus from Riga to Tallinn and called himself an ambulance from Tallinn bus station. He had originally departed from Iran, and flown from Turkey to Riga, spending at least 2.5 hours in Riga and using public transport.[12][13] By 2 March, 114 people had been tested for COVID-19, all tests coming out negative.[14]

On 2 March, the Latvian Ministry of Health confirmed the first positive case of COVID-19 in Latvia. The infected person was a woman who had flown from Milan to Riga through Munich.[15][16] The day after her condition had improved considerably and a repeated test came out negative she was discharged from the Latvian Center of Infectious Diseases with instructions to remain in self-insolation for 14 days.[17][18] The same day the Latvian government allocated an additional 2.6 million euros to the Ministry of Health for various anti-coronavirus measures.[19] Minister of Health Ilze Viņķele rated country's preparedness for coronavirus 8 out of 10.[20] Between 8 and 10 March, Latvian Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has carried out 274 tests and confirmed seven more cases for people who had recently returned from Northern Italy.[21][22][23][24][25]
On 12 March, Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš announced that the government had declared a state of emergency and that starting 13 March and until 14 April large public gatherings with over 200 people were banned and schools would conduct distance learning, along with other safety recommendations.[26]
On 13 March, the government announced a billion euro support for businesses affected by coronavirus provided as "financial instruments" (such as tax holidays or sick leave pay) via the state-owned ALTUM development bank.[27]
A list of emergency measures took effect on 14 March.[28] On 14 March, Kariņš announced that starting 17 March international travel would be halted, however, this would not affect private travel within the European Union, returning citizens or flow of goods. Furthermore, organised public events are banned and other gatherings may not exceed 50 participants.[29][30]
In preparation of a possible COVID-19 patient influx most of the hospitals began reducing or stopping most unrelated scheduled and outpatient treatment, with the exception of critical operations.[31] On March 25 the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control Infectious Disease Risk Analysis and Prevention Department director Jurijs Perevoščikovs reported the first COVID-19 patients with no clear epidemiological links to any other infection cases or trips abroad, pointing to the start of COVID-19 transmission within the Latvian society.[32][33][34]
On 29 March, the government adopted a number of stricter regulations. Foremost, everyone had to maintain a 2-metre distance and observe epidemiological safety measures in private and public events, as well as during public indoor and outdoor activities. Exceptions were given for 2 people, those living in the same household or parents and their minor children if they didn't live in the same household. New restrictions also prohibited all private arrangements (except funerals), public events, meetings, processions, pickets, indoor sports and religious activities. Trading and public catering venues were still allowed to hold more people while maintaining the 2-metre distance and observing safety measures. Various other measures were also adopted, such as prioritisation of medical item supply for national purposes or the government's right to request information from electronic communications operators on specific persons for epidemiological investigation.[35][36]
Mid 2020
On 7 April, The Cabinet of Ministers decided to extend the state of emergency by another month until 12 May with the same restrictions in place.[37]
On 7 May, The Cabinet of Ministers extended the state of emergency until 9 June, but eased some of the restrictions. Notably, starting 12 May, outdoor and up to 3-hour indoor gatherings of up to 25 people would be allowed while observing the two-metre distancing and providing disinfectants. A mouth and nose cover would be required in public transport. Travel and tourism would also be allowed within the three Baltic states.[38] By 22 May, travel from the EU was reopened.[39] On 22 May, the contact-tracing app "Apturi Covid" (lit. Stop Covid) was released that could be voluntarily downloaded and followed Google and Apple API standards.[40]
The state of emergency ended on 10 June, while restrictions remained in effect—face cover in public transport, 2-metre distancing, as well as various restrictions on gatherings and public events.[41] On 16 June, the government met with various experts to discuss the possible second wave.[42] Dumpis warned that the pandemic was not over and that the situation had to be closely monitored.[43] State-paid test availability was extended from end of June until the end of summer.[44]
At the start of July, Dumpis remarked that the greatest risk of new cases came from travel and import of the virus from other countries.[45] The small outbreaks observed the following week were attributed to personal gatherings.[46] Due to the case increase, some restrictions were restored for catering facilities.[47] On 15 July, penalties for not observing the self-isolation rules were approved.[48] By the end of July, epidemiologist Jurijs Perevoščikovs, director of the SPKC's Department for Risk Analysis and Prevention of Infectious Diseases, said that stricter restrictions were not needed at the time.[49] On 20 July, testing was made mandatory for guest workers,[50] Perevoščikovs remarked that guest workers would not significantly increase the risk of infection.[51]
After a regular weekly meeting, Levits and Kariņš stated that various contingency plans being made for the likely second wave of the virus.[52]
Dumpis argued that keeping the rates low in Latvia relied heavily upon measures and stricter rules in other countries.[53] By 25 September, arrival from all EU countries (except The Vatican) required self-isolation upon arrival in Latvia.[54]
October 2020
In October, the infection rates increased 11-fold from September.[55] Use of face covers became mandatory in public transport on 7 October,[56] and other public places on 14 October, along with other restrictions.[57] Dumpis urged to prioritize social distancing over masks.[58] Rural areas saw a reusable mask deficit.[59] By 19 October, Latvia saw a record number of confirmed cases,[60] and restrictions on gatherings and remote study were further tightened by 24 October.[61] On 29 October, fines were introduced for not wearing a face cover in enclosed public places.[62]
Testing also saw long queues in October due to lack of personnel with up to 11 days in rural areas.[63][64] Voluntary tests were suspended,[65] and new testing locations were planned.[66]
November 2020
At the start of November, the Cabinet of Ministers was divided on instating a new state of emergency,[67] while Levits supported it.[68] Dumpis explained that travel and mobility has been the cause of rapidly rising case numbers and that stricter restrictions were necessary because society had not fully followed even the light restrictions before.[69] The SPKC reported that 50% of new cases could not be tracked to a source,[70] and infected persons have many contact persons, which suggests that restrictions are not being observed.[69] A study showed that social activity had returned to a level before the pandemic linking the decrease in social distancing with the rise of new cases.[71][72] On 6 November, the government declared a second state of emergency to begin on 9 November. The restrictions on gatherings, events, sports activities, catering and education were further tightened.[73] Following local outbreaks, municipalities and regions were faced with additional tighter restrictions,[74] and the government announced that the list of affected regions would be reviewed every week based on the infection rate.[75] Overall, the infection rates doubled in November.[76] Dumpis had remarked that distancing restrictions were still likely not being observed as evident by the increasing case rates.[77]
By mid-November, the testing queue waiting time had significantly decreased, following an earlier change in application procedures.[78][79] As the case rate doubled in November, the testing only increased by 10%.[76]
December 2020

At the start of December, the state of emergency was extended until 11 January and a broader range of restrictions came into force.[80] The government aimed to have 10,000 tests per day, which primarily meant having the testing sites open on weekends and holiday.[81]
Following a further increase in daily cases and hospitals approaching capacity, a range of new restrictions were expected to come into effect on 21 December.[82] On 29 December 2020, the government introduced a curfew for New Year's holidays and weekend from December 30 until January 4, and the weekend following Orthodox Christmas on January 8 and 9, during which individuals must stay at their place of residence between 22:00 and 5:00 except for emergencies and work-related matters.[83] Viņķele stated that various restrictions are likely to remain throughout 2021.[84]
Viņķele stated that vaccines would be state-funded and voluntary.[84] The first batch arrived on 26 December,[85] and vaccination began on 28 December.[86]
January 2021
Karins expressed mistrust in the Minister of Health Viņķele due to the lack of a vaccination plan and requested her demission. Viņķele disagreed that the plan was not sufficient, but resigned.[87] On 7 January, Daniels Pavļuts was confirmed as the new Minister of Health.[88]
The earlier restrictions, including the weekend curfew, were extended until 25 January,[89] and later to February 7.[90] Pavļuts proposed that the restrictions could be lifted only if the cumulative number of new cases per capita would fall trifold.[91]
On 5 January, Ministry of Health presented a vaccination plan with an estimate of 50k vaccination a month and 16% of total population in the first quarter of the year.[92] A central vaccination bureau was established to facilitate a smooth vaccination implementation.[93][94] In a survey, 38% of Latvian population say they will refuse vaccination.[95]
February 2021
At the start of February, Latvia had a death rate 32% higher than the EU average and COVID-19 was the third most frequent cause of death in the country.[96] In the middle of the month, the occurrence of the more contagious virus strains had risen from 3% to 8% towards the end of month.[97][98]
The government approved a "Covid warning system" based on a 14-day cumulative new case count. The system aims to inform the public about the current levels of risk of the epidemiological situation and set the restriction accordingly.[99] On 5 February, the State of Emergency was extended to until April 6 with mostly the same the restriction in place,[100] while the weekend curfew was not extended.[101] Notably, additional travel restrictions were also instated for two weeks.[102] The State voluntary vaccination registration website also began operating on 5 February.[103] On 16 February, the government approved a one-time 500 euro childcare benefit payment plan to families for children aged 0 to 15, 15 to 20 for those still in education, and all newborns until April 6.[104]
On 5 February, a vaccination registration website for residents began operation,[103] and phone line registration on 10 February.[105] A priority group for vaccinations was established on February 9.[106] By 12 February, 93k people had registered for a vaccination.[107] By 20 February, over 25k people had received a first shot and over 16k the second.[108] Seniors over 70 would be the first general population group to be vaccinated.[109] Pavļuts remarked that herd immunity would not be possible by mid-year.[110]
March 2021
At the start of March, over 9% of samples had the new strain of COVID-19, although it had not doubled, similarly to how it happened in other countries.[111] On 12 March, the government decided on further restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus and prevent the third wave of the new strain from spreading, in particular, this included remote work excluding essential workers and jobs that cannot be carried out remotely.[112] Dumpis said that restrictions cannot be loosened at this time.[113]
By middle of March, at 5,1% of population vaccinated, Latvia was at the second-lowest indicator among the EU and EEA countries.[114] Kariņš notes that the distribution of vaccines has not been proportional among the countries and Latvia had received proportionally fewer doses,[115] however EU responded to a common letter of several countries that this was not the case and countries are free to choose the number of doses received from their allocated amounts.[116] By the middle of March, it was expected to vaccinate 3000 people a day,[117] although the earlier goal of 2500 per day had not been reached and remained in low 2000s.[118] Vaccine delivery delays were also experienced and fewer doses were distributed to vaccination locations.[119] Latvia plans to open eleven major vaccination centres, in addition to smaller centres.[120] According to an SKDS survey, only 29% of Latvians would take the first opportunity to get vaccinated.[121] Based on other country reports, the use of AstraZeneca vaccine was temporarily suspended following further investigation.[122][123] It is planned to resume its use.[124]
April 2021
On 7 April the state of emergency ended in Latvia. Although restrictions remained in place, only some shops were allowed to open.[125] Later in April, Kariņš said that he did not expect the government to ease restrictions.[126]
By April 21, 10% of Latvians had received the first Covid dose.[127] A presentation prepared by the Ministry of Health reported that 8.6 million doses of vaccines have been earmarked requiring a little over €141 million.[128]
May 2021
Kariņš noted that new restriction were unlikely to be set.[129] The number of confirmed cases halved over May.[130] On May 27, the government approved various exemptions for vaccinated people.[131]
Only 30% of older people have received the vaccine, while in Europe in average 80% of older people already received the vaccine.[132] Dumpis predicted that effects from vaccination against COVID-19 could be seen around Midsummer.[133] A study estimated that 12% of Latvia's population could have had COVID-19 infection without knowing it.[134]
June 2021
At the beginning of June, over half a million residents had received at least one dose of the vaccine,[135] this rose to a million by the middle of June [136] During June, the vaccination rate was decreasing.[137] Dumpis said that despite that people in the risk groups have had vaccines available for several months, the vaccination rates remained low among the group at below 50% compared to other European countries with much higher rates.[138]
The number of cases had reduced by 60% over the preceding five weeks,[139] and the morbidity rate per 100,000 inhabitants over 14-day period fell below 200 for first time since November.[140] This indicator was still one of the highest within the Europe.[141] Various gathering restriction were lifted.[142]
July 2021
By mid-July, the number of new infections was dropping by 36% compared to the preceding week,[143] and remained at standstill towards the end of the month.[144] The government planned for another expected outbreak in the autumn and winter.[145] Further restriction were lifted for vaccinated persons.[146]
The pace of vaccination continued to decrease and was the lowest since April and March,[147][148] with over 35% persons having completed the vaccination process by the end of July.[149] The option to get vaccinated at various shopping mall gained popularity.[150] Dumpis remarked people's reluctance to vaccinate in Latvia and struggled to explain the reasons.[151]
August 2021
At the start of August, the newly confirmed cases increased by 30% compared to the previous week.[152] By mid-August, the spread of the Delta strain had accounted for 95% of all cases compared to 18% in early July,[153] and rose to 98% by late August.[154]
By mid-August, 800,000 people had received at least one dose of vaccine.[155] The pace of vaccination kept falling reaching the lowest numbers since March.[156] Young people aged 12 to 17 were the most active in vaccinating.[157] On August 17, the government decided that vaccination could be completed by a different manufacturer's vaccine than the first dose.[158]
The government announced that unvaccinated people could face tighter restrictions in the future.[159] Meanwhile, the overall safety measures were not changed even though the threshold of the next risk level had been exceeded.[160]
September 2021
The number of cases kept rising in September,[161] and by the second half of September new cases reached almost 30% weekly increase, while hospitalizations increased by up to 41%[162] and kept rising.[163] Emergency Medical Service began facing issues finding spots for intensive care patients.[164] Two hospitals declared an internal state of emergency.[165] A major problem in hospitals was the lack of nurses at intensive care units.[166]
Vaccination rate continued to decrease,[167] and reached the lowest rate in six months.[168]
On September 28, the government decided that from October 11 nearly all services and activities will have to be organized so that all staff and visitors must be vaccinated, recovered, or have a negative test.[169]
October 2021
At the start of October, the number of cases continued to rise and reach record values.[170][171] On October 11, a national state of emergency was declared for three months along several restrictions.[172] By mid-October, the highest number of new cases was recorded since December 2020[173] with the number of hospital patients rising by over 50%.[174]
On October 21, a nearly month-long lockdown period began with strengthened security measures and restrictions on the movement, including a curfew between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00 and suspension of majority of stores and services.[175]
The pace of vaccination remained steady at the start of the month[176] and rose slightly towards mid-October.[177] At this time, about half of the population was vaccinated.[178]
November 2021
On November 4, the Latvian Parliament authorized businesses to suspend and subsequently fire workers who refuse vaccination or a transfer to remote work. The rules take effect on November 15. There are exceptions for those with medical reasons not to vaccinate, and those who have recently recovered from infection.[179][180]
On November 12, Latvia's parliament voted to ban unvaccinated lawmakers from voting on legislature or participating in discussions in person or remotely, and to suspend their pay if they cannot work at the parliament. The restrictions come as a result of a surge in case count, and to “promote public confidence in the government's polices to control COVID-19 infections”, according to the legislation's sponsor, Jānis Rancāns.[181][182]
