Poland closes its borders – DER SPIEGEL

Denmark is now reaching out too Poland to drastic measures and closes its borders for all foreigners. The Prime Minister said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference in Warsaw with.

All international flight and train connections are to be suspended from Sunday. With this, a further spread of the virus Sars-CoV-2 can be counteracted. Morawiecki emphasized that the borders remained open for the movement of goods. The measure initially applied for ten days, but could be extended for a further 20 days.

Poles must go to quarantine for 14 days

According to Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski, the comprehensive border controls should start at midnight from Saturday to Sunday. Poland could return from abroad by car, but would then have to go into a 14-day quarantine.

Poland will also close all shops in malls – with the exception of grocery stores and pharmacies. Pubs, bars, casinos and restaurants are also closed. Locals are likely to operate a delivery service, said Morawiecki. Events with more than 50 participants are also prohibited.

“These are difficult decisions, but we can use them to avoid even tougher times,” said Morawiecki. Protective measures were taken too late in several western countries and the aim was to avoid this mistake. Poland currently has 68 Corona infected, one person died of Covid-19.
