Earlier, he also referred to the influx of refugees from Ukraine to Poland and the related potential scenarios for the development of the epidemic in Poland.
– The epidemic forecasting team forecasts the number of infections and deaths. Taking into account all variables, such as the return of children to school, the increase in our mobility, but also the influx of war refugees with immunization levels of up to 80 percent, this will not result in an increased infection rate, he said.
