'We are very close to closing Poland': chief advisor to government

Actually, we are very close to closing Poland, the government's chief advisor on the Covid-19 pandemic, Prof. Andrzej Horban said. According to his report, a hard lockdown has been possible since the weekend.

"It is possible if on Wednesday or Thursday we get closer to the number clearly exceeding 30,000 infections. This is not only a potential but also a realistic scenario," Prof. Andrzej Horban said on Polsat News.

The doctor said that the key issue, in this case, is whether over 30,000 new infections daily will start to be diagnosed in Poland. In the Monday report of the Ministry of Health, there were "only" 14,578 of them. Unfortunately, it was also reported that we had the most occupied beds and ventilators in Poland since the beginning of the pandemic.

Currently, Covid-19 patients occupy 24,637 hospital beds. 2,421 of them are connected to ventilators. There are over 351,000 people in quarantine. Since the beginning of the pandemic, as many as 2.07 million cases of coronavirus have already been detected. Government figures show that 49,365 people have died.
