Wedding restrictions
These restrictions are very local, limited to individual municipalities, but in Poland there are also bans planned for the whole country. Deputy Minister of Economic Development Olga Semeniuk told Rzeczpospolita that restrictions on wedding planners were being considered.
If we can protect the life and health of grandmothers and grandfathers, we will introduce a ban on older people from attending such events.
“We know that all families would like to celebrate a wedding in as large a group as possible, but if we can protect the life and health of grandmothers and grandfathers, we will introduce a ban on older people from attending such events,” said.
According to the official, the wedding must be safe and comfortable, so new prohibitions are needed. Poland is still considering introducing them this week, as older people are the most vulnerable and will have to stay home.
It is not ruled out that such personal celebrations may also be attended by officials, who will verify compliance with the established rules.
Masks must be worn
Some restrictions remain in force in Poland even after the quarantine has been lifted. Let’s say the nightclubs are closed, there are no discos, there are no big mass events. In churches and on public transport, where the chances of infection are high enough, masks should be worn. It is true that exceptions are made for people with respiratory problems, but from September they will need to have a medical certificate with them, otherwise they will not escape the penalty.
The incident at Poznan airport is also related to the mask, he writes. tvn24.pl. Here, a plane from one of the Greek islands was forced to be delayed because a passenger disobeyed the crew’s order to put on a mask.
Due to the threat of the coronavirus, masks must be worn both at the airport and on the plane throughout the trip. However, this passenger, who was to fly on a LOT flight, had a mask, but was not wearing it. As a result, the plane, ready for take off, returned to the parking lot and the officers removed the passenger.
