The COVID-19 pandemic in Lithuania 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 Lithuania in February 2020. On 18 March 2020, the first domestic case was confirmed, the first infected being an immediate family member of a known case.[1] The first cases of community spread were found in the country on 19 March and the first related death occurred on 20 March 2020.[2]

As of 12 August, coronavirus cases have not yet been confirmed in 2 out of 60 municipalities in Lithuania: Birštonas and Pakruojis District.
