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
- Closed hotels and accommodations.
- Closed cinemas, theaters, concert halls, operas, museums.
- Closed outdoor courts.
- Closed ski slopes.
- Closed swimming pools, water parks.
- Closed tennis courts.
- Hybrid learning in grades 1-3 of primary schools.
- 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.
