The state of the epidemic has been in force in Poland since March 20, 2020. – We are introducing new rules on quarantine and increasing penalties for breaking it, we also suspend educational activities until April 10, 2020.

From March 20, 2020 until further notice, there is an epidemic in Poland, which gives state authorities new powers. We act prophylactically to limit the spread of the coronavirus – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at the time.
According to the “Act on preventing and combating infections and infectious diseases in humans”, it is “the legal situation introduced in a given area in connection with an epidemic in order to undertake the anti-epidemic and preventive measures specified in the Act to minimize the effects of the epidemic”.
On the other hand, the state of epidemic threat is “the legal situation introduced in a given area in connection with the risk of an epidemic in order to take preventive measures specified in the act”.
State of the epidemic and state of epidemic threat – what does it mean?
Pursuant to Article 46 of the “Act on preventing and combating infections and infectious diseases in humans”, if an epidemic threat or an epidemic occurs in more than one voivodship, the minister of health announces an epidemic threat or an epidemic at the request of the Chief Sanitary Inspector.
The act on infectious diseases allows, inter alia, designate the role of medical personnel and other persons to the minister of health in combating the coronavirus in Poland.
In subsequent ordinances, the minister of health may introduce, for example:

- temporary restriction or prohibition of the marketing and use of certain items or food products,
- temporary limitation of the functioning of certain institutions or workplaces,
- prohibition of organizing shows and other gatherings of people,

- an order to make the real estate, premises, land available and to provide means of transport for the anti-epidemic activities provided for by anti-epidemic plans.
– If the state of the epidemic is canceled, but the state of epidemic threat is introduced, many of the provisions of the act that are currently in force will continue to apply – legal counsel Jakub Kowalski said in an interview with the website praw.pl. – Only canceling the state of epidemic threat (without re-introducing the state of epidemic) would have serious legal consequences.
