Children can stay outside without their parents during winter break

During the winter holidays, children will also be able to stay in the open air from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. without the need for care from the elderly, said the Minister of Health, Adam Niedzielski.

"We wanted to propose, and this is also related to numerous requests, some relaxation of the restriction, it will be prepared in today's regulation of the Council of Ministers. We wanted to allow children to stay outdoors without the need for elderly people to look after them between 8:00 and 16:00," Niedzielski announced.

He stressed that this applies to the winter holidays that began throughout the country today and are to last until January 17.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the transition to remote learning, restrictions on the movement of children and adolescents under the age of 16 have been introduced. As a rule, from Monday to Friday (on school days) from 8: 00-16: 00 they can move only with a parent, legal guardian, or an adult.
