WARSAW – Poland on Thursday announced new restrictions to curb the coronavirus pandemic, adding limits on bar and restaurant opening hours, sporting events and schools in some regions as it faced some other increase in infections.
“I call on all the elderly to stay in their homes. we will win this fight, but if we are united and responsible,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference.
Sports events will take place without an audience, gyms and swimming pools will close and schools in red areas, where the coronavirus has hit the country harder, will have to provide distance education. The capital Warsaw will also be in the red zone. (Report via Alan Charlish, Alicja Ptak and Agnieszka Barteczko, written through Joanna Plucinska)
