European countries are adopting a variety of strategies to address the fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic. In France, a few months ago, for example, serious difficulties were introduced for the unvaccinated, which led the French to massively go to vaccination points. In Italy, covid passports are thoroughly checked and necessary, for example, to eat dinner in a restaurant. There, wearing masks in public spaces (indoors, but also during sports events) is obligatory.
When it comes to Poland, experts say directly that we are following the “Swedish model”.
– If we do not introduce restrictions, we do not limit people’s social activity, we implement, in a sense, the Swedish variant of exposure to infection (natural immunization). However, the vaccinated are safe, and people who do not want to be vaccinated do it at their own risk – said Dr. Aneta Afelt from the COVID-19 Team at the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences in an interview with Medonet.
