In the coming days, Krakow will most likely be in the yellow zone, where additional restrictions are in force due to the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic. The number of infections per 10,000 people is decisive for hitting a given zone mark.
Krakow hitting the yellow mark!
The fact that Krakow may end up in the yellow zone has been unofficially talked about for several days and such information also came from government circles. This is indicated by the growing number of infections in the Małopolskie Voivodeship and in Kraków itself.
Data per 19 August 2020: “In the last 24 hours, there were 140 new cases of coronavirus infection in Małopolska, 37 of which in Kraków alone. This is more than the previous day when 134 new cases were confirmed”.
Numbers as of 19th August 2020
Since the beginning of the epidemic in Małopolska, 5,838 people with confirmed infection have been confirmed, of which 2,212 have been cured. The number of so-called active infections exceeds three and a half thousand and is currently exactly 3514. In Krakow, since the beginning of the epidemic, we have already had 1070 cases, 22 people died, and we had 351 convalescents. All this means that Krakow is approaching the border, after which the yellow zone is being introduced. This is determined by the number of cases per 10 thousand residents. The yellow zone is valid for the 6-12 index. In Krakow, it is already 6.03 (19 August 2020).
Division of Poland in zones
Along with the further development of the coronavirus pandemic in Poland, the Ministry of Health in August decided to regionalize the level of coronavirus risk and decided to introduce green, yellow and red zones for individual counties. The former are safe poviats, where the number of infections is low and there are nationwide, increasingly milder restrictions.
The situation is different in other zones. “Red” counties are those in which the rate of increase of new cases per 10 thousand inhabitants exceeds 12 in the 14 days preceding the publication date. In turn, poviats (regions) in the range from 6 to 12 cases are marked in yellow.
Rules for the Yellow & Red Zone
In the Yellow Zone, a maximum of 100 guests may participate in weddings. Mass events are forbidden in red. The number of wedding participants is limited to 50. Only half of the seats are available on public transport. The organization of fairs and cultural events is forbidden. Sanatoriums are closed, and sports events are held without fans. Gyms and cinemas remain open with additional security measures.
In the red zone, it is obligatory to wear masks everywhere in public spaces, also in the streets and parks. The yellow mask is worn as it is now, i.e. in means of collective public transport, in workplaces and public utility buildings, in commercial or service facilities, or in the course of religious worship.
