Deaths were recorded in mainland China (2,788), Hong Kong (2), Iran (26), South Korea (13), Italy (17), onboard an international carrier (4), Taiwan (1), Philippines (1), Japan (3) and France (2).

Detailed information on security in individual countries and regions, including the necessary contact details, is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

None of the samples tested by the National Institute of Hygiene were positive. So we still have no confirmed coronavirus infection in Poland.
