In Poland, 502 new cases of COVID-19 coronavirus infection were detected in the last day, in addition to six previously infected patients who died, Polish public radio quoted health information on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Health indicated that of the newly identified cases, 161 were registered in the southern coal mining region of Silesia, where the disease spread to local mines.
A further 91 cases of COVID-19 have been identified in neighboring Lesser Poland Voivodeship, which has the historic city of Krakow and the popular mountain resort of Zakopane.
In the Central Mazovia Voivodeship, which includes the capital Warsaw, 62 new cases of COVID-19 have been identified.
The latest victims of coronavirus infection are four men between the ages of 66 and 85 and two women between the ages of 38 and 80, the ministry said in a Twitter message. It is also reported that the majority of these patients had concomitant chronic diseases.
Yesterday 337 cases of coronavirus were detected in Poland. For some time now, the number of new infections in Poland has fluctuated up and down around 300 every day, so Tuesday’s data shows a worsening of the situation in the country.
The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country increased to 43,904 and the number of deaths to 1,682.
The total number of people recovered increased to 33,043, added the health ministry.
1,655 patients with COVID-19 are currently being treated in Polish hospitals; of which 61 require artificial pulmonary ventilation.
Delphi recalls that some countries reintroduced a series of restrictions on Monday, ranging from beach closures to quarantine measures to control outbreaks of coronavirus infection, with an official number of COVID-19 victims exceeding 650,000 worldwide.
European countries trying to reduce the damage caused to their economies by previous quarantines are struggling to reconcile the need to keep tourism open and prevent further outbreaks of coronavirus infection.
The Spanish tourism sector has again been hit by British travelers and a major tour operator refusing to fly into the country, and London has returned the requirement to return to quarantine.
Belgium has tightened physical distance requirements to curb the “worrying” increase in new COVID-19 cases. In the country’s second-largest city, Antwerp, a street ban was imposed on Monday starting at 11 p.m. 30 minutes. until 6 pm. local time.
However, the World Health Organization (WHO) opposes the complete closure of the borders.
Closing borders “is not necessarily a sustainable strategy for the global economy, the world’s poor or anything else,” said WHO chief emergency officer Michael Ryan.
A “global policy for all” is not possible because outbreaks unfold differently in different countries, he added.
