Sejm – the lower house of the Polish parliament – passed an act on Monday regarding specific solutions related to the spread of the coronavirus.
The act imposes some obligations on state authorities. It legally organizes school closure regulations and creates the opportunity for children to stay at home with their parents who will be entitled to a 14-day care benefit. Teachers will not lose their salary.
Meanwhile, classes in a school complex in the town of Police, north-west Poland, were suspended, and two dormitory buildings belonging to it were quarantined.
Two students who have returned from Italy are suspected of being infected with the coronavirus.
