Against the background of a surge in new corona infections, Poland is again introducing massive restrictions on public life. "We have to step on the brakes now to defend our health system,"
said Health Minister Adam Niedzielski on Thursday in Warsaw. As of Saturday, more than 150 regions across the country, including the capital Warsaw and several other major cities, will be declared as so-called red zones, in which stricter requirements apply.
Wedding celebrations will be banned there in the future, swimming pools and fitness clubs will be closed. Restaurants are only allowed to be open for guests from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., after which time they can only offer their meals to take away.
Schools are moving back to distance learning. "The restrictions are intended to protect us from further spread of the virus, but at the same time we want the economy to function as far as possible," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
He was connected to the press conference by video because he is currently in quarantine.
