Müller:

The Prime Minister Was Misinformed. Due to our fault, he was unaware this recommendation was binding under sanitary inspection regulations. For this, on behalf of the Prime Minister's staff, I wanted to apologize.

- At the Government Crisis Management Team, when the situation related to gastronomy was discussed, with the recommendations that were to be implemented there, there was a decision that the recommendation concerning persons who could sit at a table would be of a soft nature. Ultimately, it was issued by the GIS (Chief Sanitary Inspectorate) in the form of a binding recommendation. The Prime Minister was misinformed by his staff, and I wanted to apologize for this. It was simply supposed to be a soft recommendation, but it turned out to be published in the form of the article I just mentioned. Therefore, due to our fault, the Prime Minister was unaware that this recommendation was indeed binding under sanitary inspection regulations, and for this, on behalf of the Prime Minister's staff, I wanted to apologize – stated Piotr Müller in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- Tomorrow, the Government Crisis Management Team will discuss further issues related to the transition to the next stage of lifting restrictions, so some of them may soon become outdated. Let's hope we will be able to afford that. And as I said, this particular one was not supposed to be binding in the form of this article resulting from the GIS decision, but was intended to be a soft recommendation. It turned out that it was actually published under the provision I just mentioned – the government spokesman continued.
