As announced today by the Minister of Health, Roman Prymula, the drastic measures will be applied from tomorrow, Thursday. Exceptions include supermarkets, drug stores, and pharmacies. In addition, exit restrictions are imposed, as in the spring: the government has ordered that people must limit their contact with other people to the “time absolutely necessary.” This does not apply to the way to work, necessary purchases, visits to the doctor and relatives. Rides in parks and outdoors are also allowed.
