Poland will be in national quarantine from December 28 to January 17, Polish Health Minister Adam Niedzielski announced on Thursday. In addition to the measures already in place – schools, restaurants, cinemas without access – all hotels, shopping centers and ski slopes will be closed, writes Reuters, according to Agerpres.
The Health Minister warned of a possible third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the new year and urged Poles to be cautious.
