Poland reports that record has accumulated in COVID cases after strike at a coal mine

WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland on Tuesday reported a record in the accumulation of coronavirus cases for the fourth time in a week, with more than a third of them discovered in the southern Silesia region, which has been battling another epidemic among coal miners.

The most recent count of 680 new infections and six deaths occurs when Poland considers introducing stricter restrictions, adding mandatory evidence for travellers returning to Poland, and quading those in certain countries.

More than 220 cases were reported in Silesia, where an immediate infection led to relief from transience in coal and paint production in 12 mines in June. Then the stage stabilized, but it deteriorated again.

Last week, new instances were detected in 3 mines, adding Chwalowice, which among which paintings were reduced to a minimum in June. The State Ministry of Assets said the 2,700 miners in Chwalowice would be assessed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Health said last week that coVID-19’s resurgence among miners was the result of easing restrictions and operating situations in mines, where it is difficult to impose social estrangement.

Currently, 1,043 coal miners are infected, mainly from Poland’s largest coal producer, PGG, according to the knowledge cited Tuesday through the state news agency PAP.

The pandemic has joined many of those facing each other through the coal industry. The government, PGG representatives and trade unions agreed to extend a restructuring plan until the end of September.

Poland now has a total of 48,149 coronavirus and 1,738 deaths.

Sessions in the confined spaces of parliament were postponed, and the assembly of the confined space moved from August 7 to 14 after a senator tested positive on Saturday.
