– The last two days show that the process of infection growth has slowed down. We even note a reduction in the number of infections, comparing the data week to week. Earlier, for several weeks, the numbers were growing – said Adam Niedzielski during the Friday press conference. He also said when we should expect the peak of this wave.

– We can also observe a decrease when looking at other parameters, mainly the number of orders for research. Compared to last week, we have a slowdown in the number of orders for tests. This is another proof that the epidemic is holding back – he explained.

In which provinces is the number of infections decreasing?

– I have clear declines in some regions. The largest in the Opolskie, Dolnośląskie, Zachodniopomorskie, Lubuskie, Pomorskie and Mazowieckie voivodships. There, the number of infections decreased, in the remaining ones the infections are still growing – said Niedzielski.

As he explained, the inhibition of the summer wave of infections is not yet visible in the number of hospitalizations. – In the level of hospitalization, this factor does not seem to inhibit. The number has now reached 2,7 thousand. people and during the week we see an increase of 500 people. Looking at other countries, we can see that in other countries they are also growing. There are fewer patients under respirators, 62 people at the moment – said Niedzielski.
