Coronavirus disease isn’t the only one: health minister

The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is not the only disease people will suffer from and from which people will die, we must defrost the health care system as soon as possible and resume care and treatments in other fields of medicine, said Łukasz Szumowski, the Polish health minister in an interview for the state-run news agency, PAP, on April 23.

In the interview, he discussed his recommendations on Poland’s upcoming elections and further increasing the number of coronavirus tests performed. He provided data on, among others, tests, laboratories, personal protective equipment for hospital beds and isolation rooms. He explained why it is obligatory to cover the nose and mouth in public, besides indicating that the country has not reached the peak of the disease yet.
