Despite the high number of infections in recent days, the government has no plans to restore the lockdown. "We do not anticipate introducing such a formula to limit economic activity," said government spokesman Piotr Muller.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that in Poland we are fighting the second wave of the pandemic "more effectively than others," Euractiv informed.
The prime minister emphasized that he wanted to fight the pandemic effectively, but he intended to avoid "closing the economy to the same extent as it happened in March, April, May or June".
The prime minister said that while the lockdown had allowed the growth in infections to drop sharply, it had come at a cost. It is the economic crisis. He stressed that a good economic situation is essential to guarantee a functioning health protection.
The head of the Council of Ministers also expressed the conviction that the red and yellow zones in municipalities are working well and the government does not intend to give up on this.
