Masks are not required in clinics and hospitals. How many coronavirus infections are there?
No more masks in Hospitals and medical institutions
The Chief Sanitary Inspector applied to the Minister of Health to cancel the state of epidemic emergency. This was due to a significant decrease in the number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths caused by SARS-CoV-2. On Sunday, July 2, the Ministry of Health announced that only 4 COVID infections (including one recurrence) had been detected the previous day. 292 tests were performed.
The records
During the worst period of the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland, even tens of thousands of new infections were recorded daily (the record is just over 40,000). In total, since March 4, 2020, more than 6.5 million people have been infected with the dangerous coronavirus in our country, the Ministry of Health informs.
So… I wanted to share a story from today with you…
A Romanian-Polish (double-citizenship) lady enters a local shop (to help the local economy and the small enterprises VS going to big chains like Kaufland, Auchan, Carrefour, or others). She sits in a queue nicely, with her selected products: green onion tails (PL: “szczypiorek”) and some radish (PL: “rzodkiewka”). There are 2 ladies in front. One goes out fast but the 2nd one has many things to buy and she seems an older client as the ladies are familiar with each other. The lady that sells the products asks he where she has been in the last month or so as she did not see her for a very long while. To which the buyer replies that she has been off because her child could not walk a week after she went to give him the COVID shots.
COVID Shots for Polish children between the ages of 5 and 11
COVID 19 Deaths by Age Group (for the USA) between January 1st, 2020 and October 16th, 2021 show that 1.7% of all deaths among US children aged 5 to 11 was due to COVID.
Also, the leading causes of death (same age group) place COVID 19 deaths below the number of deaths from influenza and pneumonia.
It is true that outbreak investigations have demonstrated efficient transmission among children and adults, however, having the shots taken does not mean you won’t get COVID 19! It may mean you will get a milder version and the risk of transmission to others is lower (again, this does not mean you are not a carrier!).
Back to the story…
Now coming back to the story.. the lady said her son was stuck to the bed for over a week after taking his first COVID shots. Doctors said it was muscle inflammation and after checking him they also discovered that he had that reaction because he was COVID 19 infected. Now… it baffles me how come the doctor that checked before did not realize that or do a COVID test before the shot. It also baffles me how people choose to act for the benefit of their children yet end up doing harm.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not anti-vaccine and I do not believe that children’s vaccines provoke diseases like autism. My child has taken the vaccines prescribed by the officials but never extra ones. And I will not start now. It is one thing to vaccinate myself, but another to “test” that on my child. I know, you will say these vaccines have been tested, but we really don’t know the long-term effects, don’t we? And we won’t know them for many more years to come. Should I feel comfortable in my daughter taking a vaccine that will not stop her from having the disease, will not stop the disease from spreading, yet it has one of the possible outcomes written down as DEATH?!
I don’t know about you, but I surely do not!
Influenza vaccines have been around for centuries and they are always changing. I know people that take them every year but they still get sick. There is always another variant, there are always changes and we try to catch up but we never can. For me, the COVID vaccine is like an Influenza vaccine… a vaccine that will not catch up.
I know this is a choice each takes, but I just felt the need to say this one out loud. If it is not helping you more than it is hurting you, what is the point?
From Thursday, January 27, you can also test yourself for SARS-CoV-2 in pharmacies. The test will be carried out by a pharmacist, it is free, and the result is available in several minutes.
As announced by the National Health Fund, in Małopolska, the test can be done in 11 facilities, in Kraków alone, tests are performed by two pharmacies.
List of pharmacies in Lesser Poland where you can perform a free test:
Andrychów : The White Eagle Pharmacy, 32 Rynek
Bolesław : Tęczowa Pharmacy, ul. Laskowska 4a
Chrzanów : Pharmacy Diafar, ul. Kościuszki 18
Chrzanów : Senior Pharmacy, Piłsudskiego 7
Chrzanów : 4 Seasons Pharmacy, Rynek 2
Czernichów : Pharmacy in the Clinic, ul. Wiślana 2
Okay , Limanowa poviat: Apteka Dobra
Rabka-Zdrój: Pharmacy U Farmaceutów, Rynek 8A
Tarnów : Apteka Nova, ul. Romanowicza 39a
The test is paid for by the National Health Fund and no referral is needed. The patient will receive the result via SMS or via the Patient Online Account. As the Ministry of Health assures, the antigen test performed in the pharmacy is quick (the result is obtained after a few or several minutes) and easy to perform.
From January 28, new collection points are also operating in Małopolska:
Krakow, ul. Konopnicka 2 – car park at the Forum hotel
Accesses (Kocmyrzów-Luborzyca commune, ul. Krakowska 114)
Rabce-Zdrój (next to the City Hospital, ul. Słoneczna 3)
Due to the increase in the number of cases of Sars-Cov-2 coronavirus, MPO Kraków has once again started cleaning the urban space with the use of disinfectant liquid. Work focuses on sidewalks and squares, pedestrian crossings, and stops – places where there are usually more people. Street baskets, handrails of various types, and benches are also disinfected.
The disinfecting liquid is safe for residents and animals. The employees of MPO Kraków use protective clothing due to the long-term work with this agent – temporary contact is completely safe. We ask residents for cooperation and understanding – so that MPO employees can efficiently disinfect, please move away from the cleaned surface. The disinfection action will continue until further notice.
Krakow City Hall
Some locations will be disinfected more frequently!
Depending on traffic and current needs, the frequency of disinfection will vary – from once a day to once a week. Public places with high pedestrian traffic throughout the city will be disinfected, including public transport stops, sidewalks, bus loops, larger transfer points, underground passages and footbridges, containers for selective waste collection, pharmacy surroundings with entrances, street bins in the garbage.
As reported in the office, the disinfection and ozonation action of buses and trams of the City Transport in Krakow is carried out without any changes.
The disinfection of the city and restrictions on the movement of residents bring positive effects in the fight against SARS-CoV-2. This is confirmed by scientists from the Małopolska Center of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University.

Analysis of the urban space contamination with the SARS-CoV-2 virus run by the Małopolska Center of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University
Scientists from the Małopolska Center of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University under the supervision of prof. Wojciech Branicki, dr hab. Eng. Paweł Łabaj and prof. Krzysztof Pyrć, in the spring of last year, conducted an analysis of urban space contamination with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thanks to the cooperation with the city, samples for testing were collected by city guards from places with heavy traffic. Swabs from flat surfaces came, for example, from ATMs and ticket machines located at bus stops, e.g. at pl. All Saints, Mogilskie roundabout, Bagatela Theater, Nowy Kleparz, Mały Płaszów loop and shopping malls.
“The determination of the genetic material of SARS CoV 2 virus was performed using the genetic test “Real-Time Fluorescent RT-PCR Kit for Detecting SARS-2019-nCoV” from BGI Genomics Co. Ltd. This test is very sensitive as it is able to detect even single copies of the virus. It is used, among others in Germany to test samples from patients” – explains Paweł Łabaj, co-author of the study, and adds that although the determinations were qualitative, not quantitative, the characteristics of the results indicate the presence of several or a dozen copies of the virus in the samples taken, not several hundred or more.
Research results and actions taken
As research has shown, in mid-March 2020, over 40% of the samples could find the genetic material of the virus. “The highest percentage of positive results was observed on the first day of the project. The material was collected and accumulated on the surfaces for several days” – explains Łabaj.
In the following weeks, the data were more and more optimistic, and at the beginning of April 2020, only one sample on a given day was positive in subsequent downloads. “We do not see any location having positive results. The virus appears incidentally when a sick person appears in a specific place and is not constantly present in public space”, emphasizes the scientist from the Małopolska Center of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University.
The authors of the research emphasize that the virus was therefore detected in the initial monitoring period, but the steps taken by the city, including the disinfection of public spaces, brought the expected results. The authors of the research also remind you to disinfect your hands and avoid touching your face.

The line was crossed on Wednesday, March 17: 25,000 new cases of coronavirus infections mark a return to full, nationwide lockdown. What restrictions may be introduced across the country?
At the beginning of the week, the government announced that if the daily number of infections in Poland exceeds 25,000 by Thursday, a nationwide lockdown and possibly additional restrictions will be introduced across the country. On Wednesday morning it turned out that the border had broken. Therefore, the decision on the national lockdown may be made during today’s conference of the Minister of Health, Adam Niedzielski, which is initially scheduled for 3 p.m.
Nationwide restrictions coming up!
The introduction of new nationwide restrictions is practically a foregone conclusion. Currently, stricter restrictions are in force in 4 provinces.
The government’s baseline scenario consists in extending the restrictions applicable today in Mazovia, Pomerania, Warmia and Mazury and Lubuskie to the entire country. It is about the partial closure of schools, shopping malls, hotels, culture and sports.
Restrictions that are already in force in 4 voivodships
Distance learning in grades 4-8 of primary schools, secondary schools, technical schools, and colleges (with exceptions).
Closed gyms, fitness clubs.
Closed restaurants and bars, only take-out meals.
Ban on the organization of weddings and consoles.
However, some modifications are possible. There is a discussion, for example, about introducing additional restrictions in trade, i.e. a reduced number of customers who can be in super and hypermarkets at the same time, because it is known that crowds will gather in stores before Christmas.
Bringing you the #KrakowNews – The Twisted Red LadyBug
Polish people are facing further changes related to the coronavirus pandemic. “We want to give up the possibility of replacing masks with visors or scarves. The helmets can be used additionally to the mask”, announced the Minister of Health, Adam Niedzielski. It is forbidden to cover your face only with visors, scarves or the so-called chimneys is to come into force this Saturday (February 27).
Quarantine for the Southern border
The government also decided to introduce a quarantine obligation for people crossing Poland’s southern border (with Slovakia and the Czech Republic). The condition for release from quarantine is presenting a negative test for the last 48 hours.
The government decided to introduce new restrictions only in one voivodship, where the highest increase in infected people is recorded.
We want the education in grades 1-3 in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship to return to the remote mode, so that galleries, museums, cinemas, and other public places will be closed.
Adam Niedzielski, Minister of Health
Podhale breathed a breath
After the announcement of this information, the highlanders, who were afraid that the government would close the Podhale businesses again, were relieved.
We are glad that there will not be another lockdown for the tourism industry, that we can still work and earn. On the other hand, this conference is a strong signal for us to take care of sanitary restrictions even more. Therefore, we appeal to all owners of hotels and guesthouses, as well as the inhabitants of Podhale, to be careful, to sensitize their guests, to follow the instructions to cover their mouth and nose with masks and to distance themselves. Together, we must ensure that we are all healthy and can continue to work.
Agata Wojtowicz from the Tatra Chamber of Commerce
Theaters planned for longer than 14 days!
On the other hand, Bartosz Szydłowski, artistic director of Łaźnia Nowa, admits that when announcing the repertoire for the second half of February, he hoped that theaters would remain open for longer than the conditional 14 days.
That is why on 27, 28 February, and 1 March we have planned the presentation of one of the last premieres of Łaźnia, a performance about masculinity and well-received at the Divine Comedy Festival: “Autobiography Just In Case” directed by Michał Buszewicz. It seems that we are already used to the constant changes and dynamics of the situation in the country, so work in the theater must be continuous and on a regular basis. We are glad that we will be able to continue playing because we have already felt the energy of our audience, which came back and filled the Bathhouse last weekend at the performance “Ginczanka. Recipe for the simplicity of life ”. It drives us. In March, we are planning the premiere of “Breath” directed by Franciszek Szumiński at the New Epiphanies Festival, and it may not have to be online.
Bartosz Szydłowski
The third wave is accelerating
Results show that the 3rd wave is accelerating in Poland. The dynamics of infections are beginning to catch up with those we dealt with at the beginning of the second wave in October last year.
dam Niedzielski, Minister of Health
The minister pointed out that the average daily infection counted for the last week practically reached the level of 8,000 cases, and a week ago it was less than 6,000. In the last week, an increase in the occupancy of beds in the covid infrastructure was also observed.
Adam Niedzielski will emphasize that the most disturbing situation concerns the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
In this voivodeship, we exceed the average for the whole country more than twice.
The Minister of Health
Helmets are not a good protection
Prof. Iwona Paradowska-Stankiewicz, a national consultant in the field of epidemiology, informed that one unchanging element that determines how we can avoid infection is the use of personal protection, i.e. masks.
Masks that adhere tightly to the face are able to reduce transmission, i.e. filter out over 90 percent of pathogens that are in the immediate vicinity. Helmets are not good protection, they are not recommended protection against the virus. It can be said that they constitute a mechanical barrier that, to some extent, protects our eye mucosa.
Prof. Iwona Paradowska-Stankiewicz
The expert added that the recommended masks are surgical masks and above.
Disposable masks can also be used. The key is, however, to wear the masks so that they cover the mouth and nose.
Prof. Iwona Paradowska-Stankiewicz
The loosening of restrictions
Let us recall that in mid-February, due to the stabilization of the disease, the government decided to loosen the restrictions. Hotels and accommodation are open from mid-February. From February 12, cinemas, theaters, philharmonics, operas – all in accordance with the applicable sanitary regime and up to 50 percent. available places. Some sports facilities are also open, incl. slopes and swimming pools.
In turn, Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin said then that over PLN 182 billion has already been allocated to help companies affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and within three weeks from the so-called Shield 2.0 – PLN 4 billion 900 million.
New updates every 14 days – stay tuned!
Members of the government informed that new solutions regarding the restrictions are being introduced conditionally, and that further decisions will depend on the situation related to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Wednesday morning, the Ministry of Health informed us that we had crossed the barrier of 10,000. cases per day. This is the highest daily result since January 6. The death toll from the virus has also increased. 372 people have died in Poland due to COVID-19.
As far as Małopolska is concerned, it is ranked 7th in the latest statistics of the Ministry of Health, among all provinces with the highest daily number of infections.
Taken from Gazeta Krakowska – find the Polish language article here.
A press conference with the participation of, among others, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Health Adam Niedzielski took place today. The next stage of easing the restrictions introduced in connection with the coronavirus pandemic has been announced. From February 12, cinemas and theaters will be opened (up to 50% of seats will be occupied). Hotels may also be opened with the same restrictions. But this is not the end. “Also from February 12 we open sport outside, i.e. pitches, courts, slopes” – announced Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Gliński.
“Throughout the week we listened to the voices of experts, the economic sector, etc. We are dealing with the stabilization of the pandemic situation, new cases of infections, but at the same time, the number of deaths is still very large. Therefore, it can be called fragile stabilization”, emphasizes Prime Minister Morawiecki.
In addition to cinemas and theaters, other cultural institutions will also be open from February 12 – Opera houses and Philharmonics
They are still closed, however, restaurants and gyms.
Here is the list of changes from February 12:
Hotels will be opened (up to 50% occupancy)
Cinemas, theaters, philharmonics, and operas will be opened up to 50% of the occupancy
Outdoor playgrounds, tennis courts, and ski slopes will be opened
Indoor pools will be opened
Restaurants, gyms, and fitness clubs will still be closed
What can Poles expect?
“There is no shortage of suggestions that it is the hotels (under strict sanitary regime) that will open after February 14th. On Thursday, the head of the PiS Executive Committee, Krzysztof Sobolewski, also spoke about this on Radio ZET. In his opinion, the hotels may be opened on Valentine’s Day” – Radio ZET informed.
“Hotels could start operating under strict sanitary regime “.” We are also analyzing the situation related to other industries. It is possible that MRPiT will also recommend other easing to the Council of Ministers in the near future “
Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Development, Labor and Technology Jarosław Gowin
Let us remind you that shopping malls have been fully open for several days, including museums. They have liquidated the so-called hours for seniors (inside the stores – between 10 am and 12).
The epidemiological situation in Poland
6,496 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed on February 4 by the Ministry of Health. Most of the province Masovian (960). In turn, from the province Małopolskiego 272. Another 84 people died in the whole country due to COVID-19, while 360 people died due to the coexistence of COVID-19 with other diseases.
A woman from Krakow who received the COVID-19 vaccine died. This is the 2nd such case in Poland. It is known that the patient had numerous comorbidities such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and circulatory failure.
The government website publishes current vaccine adverse reaction (NOP) reports. The official definition of NOP is that it is a medical condition that occurs within four weeks of being given the COVID-19 vaccine.
Latest report: Women died from COVID vaccine – 26th Jan 2021
The latest NOP report of January 26 contains information that a woman died on January 25 in Krakow. The description of this information indicated that the patient had: “underlying diseases: atherosclerosis, hypertension, and circulatory failure”.
It was noted, however, that according to the doctor “the patient’s death is not related to the administration of the vaccine”. The woman was not hospitalized.
The deceased patient of the care and treatment facility is an advanced person – 85 years old and burdened with many serious diseases. She died 21 days after the first dose. According to the doctor reporting the death, it is not related to vaccination. However, we are waiting for the final confirmation of this fact
explains Agnieszka Pochrzęst-Motyczyńska from the communication office of the Ministry of Health
This is the 2nd such case in Poland. Let us recall that on January 20 in Oleśnica, a 73-year-old resident of the Poviat Nursing Home in Ostrowina, Lower Silesia, died a day after the vaccine was given. The causes of death are not yet known.
Nearly 500 NOPs
From the first day of vaccination (December 27, 2020), 494 adverse vaccination reactions were reported to the State Sanitary Inspection, of which 416 were mild – i.e. redness and short-term pain at the injection site.
At the moment, 905,000 have already been vaccinated in Poland. 457 people against Covid-19 (data from Jan 27th, 2021 – Gazeta Krakowska article).
FUN FACT! I love one of the comments on the article, so I will just post it – as is – below 😉
The Chinese laboratory in Wuchan is actually owned by Glax, which BY CASE belongs to Pfizer, the producer of the C-ovid RNA vaccine. Who is in charge of the finances of Black Rock, which COUNTERLY is in charge of the finances of the Open Fundation Society – George Soros.
Which BY CASE is interested in the French AXA, which BY CASE is a Chinese workshop with the German company Wintertur, was ACCIDENTALLY bought by the alliance of Germany and coincidentally, as a great shareholder on Avantgarde, who is a Blackrock shareholder, which controls central banks and manages 1/3 of the world’s investment capital, which is ACCIDENTALLY a large shareholder of Microsoft Teams – remote learning, and Apple owned by Bill Gates, which is ACCIDENTALLY a shareholder of Pfizer and now the first WHO sponsor …
But these are for sure, there are only “cases” and some conspiracy theories…
Anyone who is hospitalized for at least 14 days after vaccination against COVID-19 or who suffered from the anaphylactic shock will be eligible for compensation. In the article below I present a list of compensation benefits and the amounts that will be received for them as a result of vaccinations.
Looking for 100000 PLN? Get the COVID19 shot!
The injured patients as a result of adverse effects after vaccination against COVID-19 will get up to 100,000 PLN . To this end, the government established a Compensation Fund, which is to start operating in May. What conditions will have to be met to get compensation?
Observation in a hospital emergency department or emergency room due to anaphylactic shock – PLN 3,000
Hospitalization due to anaphylactic shock lasting less than 14 days – PLN 10,000
Hospitalization lasting from 14 days to 30 days – from PLN 10,000 to PLN 20,000
Hospitalization lasting from 31 days to 50 days – from PLN 21,000 to PLN 35,000
Hospitalization lasting from 51 days to 70 days – from PLN 36,000 to PLN 50,000
Hospitalization lasting from 71 days to 90 days – from PLN 51,000 to PLN 65,000
Hospitalization lasting from 91 days to 120 days – from PLN 66,000 to PLN 89,000 – in proportion to the period of hospitalization
Hospitalization lasting more than 120 days – PLN 100,000
The compensation benefit is additionally increased in the case of surgery under general anesthesia – by PLN 15,000
The compensation benefit is additionally increased in the case of another surgery or a method of treatment or diagnostics that poses an increased risk – by PLN 5,000
The compensation benefit is additionally increased in the case of hospitalization in an intensive care unit or intensive care unit lasting at least 7 days – by PLN 10,000
The compensation benefit is additionally increased in the case of hospitalization in an intensive care unit or intensive care for more than 30 days – by PLN 20,000
The compensation benefit also covers the reimbursement of the costs of further treatment or rehabilitation after the observation or hospitalization is completed, but in the amount not exceeding PLN 10,000
In case of reactions after the COVID19 shot… we have you covered!
Anyone who is hospitalized for at least 14 days after vaccination against COVID-19 or who suffered from the anaphylactic shock will be eligible for compensation. For example, for a two-week stay in the hospital, we will get 10,000. PLN, and then in mind the principle: the longer in the hospital, the more money. In the event of an anaphylactic shock, the compensation will be PLN 3,000. PLN.
What happens if I die due to the COVID19 vaccine?
However, the draft resolution does not include the death that may occur after an anaphylactic shock. It is not known at the moment, so if this worst-case scenario occurs, his relatives will be entitled to compensation.
Who will pay for it?
The source of financing of the Protective Vaccination Compensation Fund will be payments to the Fund’s bank account made by entities (pharmaceutical companies) that have concluded an agreement with the State Treasury for the supply of vaccines for carrying out mandatory preventive vaccinations carried out under the Protective Vaccination Program.
However, in the case of vaccines purchased under the agreement on the early purchase of vaccines against the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, concluded between the European Commission and European Union Member States, the COVID-19 counteraction fund will be the source of funding.
Who will award the compensation?
Applications for payment of a compensation benefit for adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines will be submitted to the Rzecznika Praw Pacjenta. The decision will be issued within 60 days from the date of receipt of the application – said Bartłomiej Chmielowiec, the Patient Rights (Rzecznika Praw Pacjenta) spokesperson.
How to submit the paperwork for the compensation?
Documents for compensation may be submitted in traditional or electronic form. A form to be completed by patients will appear on the ombudsman’s website.
Pursuant to the law, a special team will be established, composed of specialist doctors with knowledge and experience in the field of immunization. In each case, the collected medical documentation will be assessed by three doctors.
It was assumed that the draft act would enter into force on May 1, 2021.
Already over 130 thousand people were vaccinated in our country against COVID-19. Meanwhile, there is a discussion about which privileges should be counted on by Poles who receive the vaccine. Among the ideas, there is even such that only those who are vaccinated receive 500 plus benefit.
How realistic is this idea? The government has not yet officially commented on it. However, there are more realistic proposals: vaccinated people are to be released immediately from quarantine after contact with a sick person. What else can they count on?
What privileges will those vaccinated against COVID-19 be able to count on?
Vaccinated people should not count on special privileges, but we have introduced the status of the vaccinated person in the National Vaccination Program – said Michał Dworczyk.
Who is getting the vaccine?
Medics from the zero group will be the first to use the vaccine. Employees of nursing homes and support staff also have priority.
The government is concerned that there may not be enough people willing to vaccinate. Therefore, he offered “benefits” for the vaccinated, which Michał Dworczyk talked about on Radio ZET.
Tax breaks?
Will vaccinated people have additional privileges?
This question was answered in the program of the Guest of Radio ZET by the Head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and the government’s plenipotentiary for vaccination, Michał Dworczyk.
The National Immunization Program defines the status of vaccinated person. This status varies for a person who has not been vaccinated. However, it is not about any special privileges. The vaccinated person is safe for others. This is a guarantee that the person will not spread the virus. Hence the solution to lifting the quarantine against the vaccinated. These are rational rules, said the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
Will discrimination happen?!
When asked if the unvaccinated would be discriminated against in this way, the politician replied that “the government acts rationally”.
I am against giving privileges to the vaccinated. Releasing Poles after the vaccine from the quarantine obligation is not a bonus, but a common-sense action. Why should we isolate those who are definitely not transmitting disease? On principle? It does not make sense
MICHAŁ DWORCZYK
I am opposed to privileges such as tax relief for the vaccinated. This would be an unreasonable bonus. Such an idea appeared in public debate, but the government did not work on it, replied the government representative.
“Vaccinated status” being introduced
The National Immunization Program introduces the concept of “vaccinated status”. As we read in the document, the receipt of the vaccine will be confirmed by a special system that will allow the vaccination to be verified (including a QR code that will allow you to quickly confirm the vaccination).
What “privileges” can a person with a vaccination certificate count on? In addition to being released from the quarantine obligation, even after contact with an infected person, the vaccinated will be able to use public health services without additional tests. Those who get vaccinated will also not be counted towards the limits on socializing.
Who has priority?
Vaccination of Poles belonging to group zero has started. It concerns employees of the health care sector (including individual practitioners), employees of Nursing Homes, and employees of Municipal Social Welfare Centers as well as auxiliary and administrative staff in medical facilities.
As part of the vaccination of health care workers, people will be able to get vaccinated, e.g. performing medical professions, i.e. providing health services, including laboratory diagnosticians, pharmacists, clinical psychologists and others, including employees of private healthcare providers. Vaccinations will also cover technical and administrative employees of medical entities, diagnostic laboratories, medical transport, as well as university teachers and students of medical faculties
Stage 1 to 3
Immediately after them, as part of the first stage, inmates of nursing homes and nursing and care centers, as well as other places of stationary stay, people over 60 years of age, in the order of the oldest, uniformed services and teachers, will get vaccinated.
The second stage involves vaccinating those seniors who suffer from chronic diseases or are undergoing treatment. During this time, people who “directly ensure the functioning of the basic activities of the state and are exposed to infection due to frequent social contacts” will also be vaccinated.
The last ones in the third round will be vaccinated by entrepreneurs and employees of sectors closed under the regulations on establishing certain restrictions, orders, and bans in connection with the outbreak of the epidemic. Right after them, other adults will be able to vaccinate.
