Poland will reduce isolation for people infected with COVID-19 from 10 to 7 days and abolish contact quarantine, said Health Minister Adam Nedzelsky. The decision takes effect on February 15, according to Reuters.
At the end of January, a record number of new cases were registered in Poland due to a wave of new versions of Omicron, but then the cases began to decline.
People from one household will be quarantined only during isolation. From February 11, contacts outside the household of the infected person will not be quarantined. Quarantine of tourists without a health certificate will be reduced to 7 days.
From February 21, students will return to this year’s form of education, said Education Minister Przemyslaw Charnek.
Earlier, Nedzhelsky told the tabloid Fakt that wearing masks indoors may not be mandatory, but appropriate.
