“We ask employers to allow them to work from home when possible,” Health Minister Adam Niedzielski told reporters in Warsaw.
Supermarkets, hotels, swimming pools, sports clubs and schools will be closed until April 9.
38 million Poland has had some restrictions so far, including closing restaurants, sports centers and schools other than primary schools.
New restrictions are being introduced in Poland with the rapid spread of a more contagious variant of the coronavirus, first detected in the UK. According to A. Niedzielskis, it is this variety that is most associated with the new outbreak of COVID-19 cases.
It was reported on Wednesday that 25,052 new cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Poland in the last day. The total number of infections has risen to 1,956,974 since the start of the pandemic, of which 48,032 have died.
Niedzielski said the further increase in morbidity was putting pressure on highly congested hospitals, so the government had to resort to new constraints.
“If this growth dynamic continues, in a week [COVID-19 atvejų paros prieaugis] it can exceed 30 thousand. or even more ”, warned the minister.
“These figures endanger the functioning of the health system,” he added.
