The situation with the spread of the virus in Poland has worsened. The number of sick people is growing. Since 24 October, all regions of the country have been in the red zone.
Which means more restrictions and bans await us for the next 2 weeks.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that if the situation does not change, the government will take even more drastic steps: closing borders, restricting traffic or a complete lockdown.
Let's try to take precautions together to prevent the virus from spreading.
So, as of today, the following rules apply:
- Wearing masks (or means to cover the mouth and nose) is compulsory in all public places. The fine is up to 500 PLN;
