We Must Prepare for the Second Phase of the Fight Against Coronavirus. We are Providing Special Care for the Most Vulnerable Groups, While the Rest of Society Must Gradually Return to Daily Duties

Nothing will disappear [restrictions] at the snap of a finger, that's for sure. The return to normality will have to be staged. However, we must actually return to what we remember from a few weeks ago as quickly as possible. This is because every day the Polish economy, and therefore all of us – not just entrepreneurs, but all of us as a nation – are losing many billions of zlotys. If we were to maintain this state for longer than a few more weeks to come, then an overdose of the medicine could turn out to be much more dangerous than the disease. We must prepare ourselves, as a state and as a society, for the second phase of the fight against coronavirus. This should involve providing special care for the most vulnerable groups, namely seniors and individuals with conditions such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc., as they are very susceptible to severe illness. Meanwhile, the rest of society must gradually return to their daily duties, otherwise the Polish state, and primarily the Polish economy, would collapse – stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on wPolsce.pl.
