Can there be a travel ban during the Christmas season? This was not ruled out by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki when announcing new rules for fighting the coronavirus epidemic.
New rules to fight Coronavirus
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced new rules for fighting the coronavirus. From next Saturday, November 28, all shops and shopping malls will be open, but they are to operate in the highest sanitary regime. If this is not the case, the stores will be closed. Restaurants, gyms, fitness clubs, and cultural centers will remain closed until December 27. Until the holidays, there will be distance learning for all students.
Do not travel for Christmas!
The prime minister also appealed to Poles to limit mobility and interpersonal contacts as much as possible, especially during the upcoming Christmas holidays.
The Christmas season is ahead of us. This is the time we meet. I am already appealing to a small group of meetings, not to move between cities, because it depends on what severe restrictions will be later on, said the head of government.
The holidays should have an intimate character, we should spend them in the smallest, closest circle. Holidays are a time of hope, but it is also a test for us – said Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin.
Limiting the movement might come next…
But what if Poles do not listen to the government’s recommendations and during the holidays they go on trips around Poland? Mateusz Morawiecki does not exclude legal solutions that will make it impossible to move, at least on a larger scale.
We are working on legal possibilities that will limit the possibility of movement during the holiday season – the prime minister said enigmatically. All the time he appealed to limit interpersonal contacts as much as possible.
A Coronavirus vaccine… Soon!
All Poles have weapons to fight the coronavirus: it is discipline, solidarity, and compliance with sanitary rules. We are facing a period of 100 days of solidarity. By the end of this period, it is likely that a coronavirus vaccine will be available. Even, if not for everyone, a large proportion of those vaccinated will break the chain of infections, said Mateusz Morawiecki.
