Such a message sounded like 38 million. The country’s population registered a new daily record of 13,632 cases of contagion this Friday.

Last Saturday, half of Poland – metropolitan areas and surrounding areas – was classified as a high-risk “red zone”, and earlier the requirement to wear protective masks in public places came into force.

“Starting tomorrow, all of Poland will be included in the red zone,” Morawieckis said during a virtual press conference.

He said the new measures have been concerned with making the “economy run faster than during the spring,” the quarantine, which was stricter.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the Polish economy is expected to contract 3.6 percent this year. – This would be one of the best results in the entire European Union.

Morawieckis advised last week “everyone who has the opportunity to work remotely.”

In Poland, only first, second and third grade students will attend classes from Saturday. Senior and college students will study remotely.

Morawiecki also asked all residents over the age of 70 to stay home. According to the prime minister, the volunteers will join “support groups for the elderly” that will address the needs of the elderly.

Take away food will be available in restaurants, cafes and bars. Sports clubs and swimming pools will be closed.

Gatherings of up to five people will be allowed, weddings will be prohibited, and the number of people in stores, public transportation and during religious ceremonies will be strictly limited.

The Polish National Stadium is being transformed into a Warsaw Field Hospital, and elsewhere the government is building temporary medical facilities, as the health care system fighting the COVID-19 outbreak is badly affected.
