On Friday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Health Adam Niedzielski held a press conference at the seat of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. Politicians announced new decisions regarding the fight against the pandemic and changes in the Polish Deal.

Mateusz Morawiecki announced an increase in the number of covid beds in Polish hospitals and the number of tests performed. From January 27, pharmacies will offer free antigen tests, which will be performed without a referral. The head of government added that people over 60 after a positive test will be examined within 48 hours by a general practitioner, and if necessary also at home.

As previously suggested, the quarantine and isolation period will be reduced from 10 to 7 days so that employees can return to their duties faster after being infected.

The head of government also touched upon the subject of changes in the Polish Deal.

"We do not turn a blind eye to the shortcomings, I demanded from the Ministry of Finance to implement various adjustments quickly," he said.

The prime minister announced that the tax relief for the middle class would apply to incomes in the maximum amount of PLN 12,800 gross per month. So far, the upper limit was PLN 11,141 gross.

The change will also be the extension of entitlement to the allowance for the middle class, among others for retirees and pensioners, academic teachers, and single parents. The government also promises additional support for companies employing people with disabilities.
