Dynamic increase in incidence of coronavirus in Poland: government

 “We will definitely have a dynamic increase in the incidence of coronavirus in Poland,” Michał Dworczyk, the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, said. He also assured that the authorities are doing everything to minimize the spread of the disease.

The government decided to introduce special border controls.

“We are the first in Europe to implement sanitary controls: on the border with Germany and the Czech Republic at the main border crossing points,” Mateusz Morawiecki said.

In his opinion, the Chief Sanitary Inspector will soon make decisions on the fight against coronavirus, including restrictions on foreign school trips. He also added that more and more mass events will be canceled due to concern for the health of participants.

According to the Ministry of Health, 17 people are hospitalized in Poland due to coronavirus infection. An elderly man and his relative in a hospital in Wrocław and a woman in Poznań are in serious condition.
