"Our health care system is reaching or is at the limit of its efficiency. Of course, we are taking further steps to expand it, but this is the time when you need to pull the emergency brake," Adam Niedzielski, the head of the health ministry, indicated
He emphasized that it is necessary to bring about a dynamic and drastic decrease in the number of cases.
"We cannot afford to implement the scenario of watching what is happening in the short term and adding restrictions to the lighter category. It is time to apply the emergency brake," the minister stressed.
"We must all realize the seriousness of the situation we are in. This is not the time for disagreements, it is not the time for arguments, it is not the time for philosophical discussions, it is the time to protect life," he noted.
