From October 10, the yellow zone will be extended to the whole country - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. This means the obligation to cover the mouth and nose in public space. The Prime Minister explained that this order was introduced due to a significant increase in coronavirus infections in Poland recently.

One of the basic duties of the government is to report on the current situation. Today, we have had a record increase in infections. This means that at this rate, the number of infections will double every three days. We want this number to be reduced. We intend to apply a similar strategy to that of a few months ago

— informed Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

These figures already show that almost 60% of our beds are free, so the situation is still safe. We want to act ahead of the game, to increase this number by applying a negative scenario. Ventilators are a frequently discussed parameter. We have about 500 free ventilators for people suffering from coronavirus. This represents almost 2/3 of free ventilators. Over 500 are in stock

— added the Prime Minister.

It is almost 7 months since the first restrictions were implemented. Today, we have to face the second wave in a decisive, rigorous manner, taking advantage of the experience we have gained and the experience of other countries. A long time of great sacrifice is behind us

— said the head of the government.
