23:58
“We have some climaxes in the number of third-wave infections behind us. However, the level of both infections and hospitalization remains at a very high level all the time,” said Adam Niedzielski at a press conference.
Some of the restrictions will be lifted regionally. The restrictions will be maintained in the following voivodeships: Śląskie, Dolnośląskie, Wielkopolskie, Łódzkie and Opolskie. The health minister also announced the restoration of the catering and hospitality industry in May.
In 11 provinces the education in the hybrid system for grades 1-3 will be restored. At the same time, in these regions, companies from the beauty industry will also be able to return to business: hairdressing and beauty salons.
“These changes are a delicate step which is to define the way of functioning,” Adam Niedzielski emphasized.
This means that the following restrictions are maintained throughout Poland:
Construction and furniture stores with an area of over 2,000 sqm closed. Warehouses and building depots will be open.
In churches and commercial establishments in the area of 100 sqm, there is a limit of one person per 20 sqm.
Outdoor sports are allowed for groups of up to 25 people.
Hotels are closed, except for workers' hotels.
Cinemas, theaters, museums, and art galleries are closed.
Shops in shopping malls are closed, with the exception of grocery stores, pharmacies, drugstores, newsagents, bookstores, and pet stores.
There are closed saunas, solariums, and casinos, gyms, and fitness clubs, as well as schools for students in grades 4-8 and high schools.
