This decision to further alleviate the limitations imposed by the coronavirus epidemic has been announced, although 38 million recorded a record increase in disease was recorded in a country with a population of a coal mine.

“We have decided to open our borders to EU members since June 13,” Morawieckis told reporters.

“In some countries of the world, especially in Latin America, but also in North America … the pandemic situation is still very worrying,” he said. “That is why we are limiting our decision to the EU countries for now.”

He added that this decision is partly due to the fact that the majority of Polish exports go to EU countries.

International flights “will also be possible starting June 16, but, of course, airlines will have to adapt. They will probably need a week, two or three to prepare the route network,” the prime minister said.

To date, 27,842 cases of COVID-19 coronavirus infection have been identified in Poland; 1,206 people died and another 13,411 recovered.

The country introduced quarantine measures quite early, in March. This is likely to explain in part the lower mortality from the disease in Poland compared to some Western European countries.

The government began easing restrictions last month, allowing restaurants to reopen, organizing gatherings of up to 150 people and waiving the obligation to wear masks for people if they follow the rules of social distance.

Poland is preparing for the presidential elections, the first round of which is scheduled for June 28.
