Poland announced new measures on Saturday to curb the coronavirus pandemic after reporting record infections for a fifth straight day, but it stopped short of introducing mandatory distance learning for schools.
Seniors would now have special shopping hours every morning from 10am to noon, and care homes would receive an extra 38 million zlotys in government funding, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told a news conference.
“For today we don’t see the need to introduce mandatory distance learning,” Morawiecki said, adding the government would hold a weekly re-evaluation to decide if further restrictions were needed to curb the pandemic. Poland, a country of 38 million, has so far recorded 121,638 confirmed cases and 2,972 deaths. During the first wave of the pandemic in the spring, the highest daily new cases were in the hundreds.
Morawiecki has previously not ruled out introducing a state of emergency if case numbers continue to climb.However, on Saturday he said the government was keen to protect the economy, avoiding another full lockdown.Polish authorities have sought to reassure the public that hospitals can cope with the rise in infections, but doctors have warned the system could soon face serious difficulties.
