Poland will downgrade its classification of the Covid-19 pandemic in mid-May, recognizing an epidemic threat instead, Health Minister Adam Niedzielski has announced.
WARSAW, Poland —
Niedzielski told the Polish Press Agency that the decision had been discussed at various government levels, and was made “through a legal analysis.” Poland formally declared Covid-19 a full epidemic on March 20, 2020, giving the government powers to enact national restrictions to limit the spread of the virus.
These measures included quarantine requirements and a mask mandate. However, most restrictions have gradually been lifted, with only mask-wearing in health institutions remaining obligatory. Almost 6 million cases of Covid-19 have been officially registered in Poland since 2020, causing 116,042 deaths. Nearly 22.5 million people have been fully vaccinated against the disease, in a country of 38.5 million inhabitants.
