- Decisions will be made today at the Government Crisis Management Team, i.e., around noon, and today, based on the data from this week as well as today's data, because today's data is also very important for us. If the disease spread models we are predicting are confirmed, and unfortunately they are currently being confirmed, it means that further decisions regarding additional preventive measures will unfortunately be taken today - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Krzysztof Świątek on "Sygnały dnia" on Jedynka radio.
- Also those concerning limits in individual places across the country or the types of restrictions we know from the past. Although they will not be as far-reaching as was the case in the spring, because we do not want to lead to such a scenario - he added.

Müller:
I spoke with Minister Dworczyk yesterday, and his statement was only about analyzing various scenarios. It doesn't mean restoring Sunday trading. There are no such decisions at this time.
- I spoke with Minister Dworczyk yesterday, and that statement, which I later watched, was only about analyzing various scenarios. It does not mean restoring Sunday trading. There are no such decisions at this time - said Piotr Müller on Radio Jedynka.

Czarzasty:
We'll Present a Comprehensive Plan for Schools on Monday or Tuesday
- We, as Lewica, will present our stance on this matter on Monday or Tuesday. We will present a comprehensive plan for dealing with schools. We are also considering the necessity of closing schools, because closing schools simultaneously means safeguarding children and providing financial support to parents who will have to look after them, and this must be a very complex plan – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Grzegorz Kępka on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

Czarzasty:
Government Claims Inability to Predict, I Say You Can Assume Needs and Plan Accordingly
- The government has no plan. When you talk to the government, the government says: how are we supposed to predict what will happen in a month. So I tell you, for God's sake, it's simply possible to do this, it's possible to assume that there will be a need for 2,000 respirators or 3,000 respirators, that 200,000 people will get sick, that a million people will get sick, and all actions should simply be taken based on that - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Polsat News.
08:11
Czarzasty:
We will not support amendments allowing fur farming for 2.5 years just for someone to wear fur
- We will not support amendments that allow for the skinning of animals for fur for 2.5 years, just so someone can wear fur. We will not support amendments that allow for the killing of animals without stunning. This is our opinion, and it is how we have always felt and continue to feel. Simply put, I will not agree to the murder of animals so that a colleague looks good in fur. For God's sake, it is the 21st century - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Polsat News.

Dworczyk:
The System is Under Control, But There is a Significant Increase in Cases. Not Just in Poland, But Across Europe
„I am convinced that we are at an important juncture right now. The system is under control, however, there is a very significant increase in cases. Not only in Poland, but across all of Europe. This is certainly a very big challenge for healthcare managers, for medical personnel, and all services on the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus” – said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24.
08:28
Dworczyk:
We Don't Have Enough Nurses, Doctors, or Paramedics. Such Shortages Cannot Be Addressed Quickly.
„Medical staff are saving the health and lives of Poles in need with immense dedication, but indeed, we have too few nurses, doctors, and paramedics. As we know, such shortages cannot be replenished in a short time. We have increased the number of places in medical studies and are undertaking other actions to supplement this personnel, but these are not problems that can be solved in one or two days. Indeed, the problem is the disregard or no-show by some medical staff representatives” – said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, on TVN24.
08:49
Terlecki:
An extraordinary session of the Sejm may be convened in the coming days. Possibly tomorrow
- The Ministry of Health is preparing a special law on this matter, and perhaps an extraordinary session of the Sejm will be convened in the coming days. It is, of course, possible [for the Sejm to meet on Friday]; MPs are at work. It's not as if MPs stop functioning as MPs when the Sejm is not in session, so convening a session for tomorrow is naturally possible – stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Łukasz A. Jankowski on Radio Wnet.
09:53
"We planned our party's congress for early November and we are not sure, we don't know if it will be possible in this situation. The decision will be made soon. Delegate elections for the congress are currently underway in the districts and this is proceeding smoothly, only they are being conducted by correspondence, because most often without the physical meeting of our party members, but a congress cannot be held in this way, so it may have to be postponed" – said Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Ryszard Terlecki from PiS in an interview with Łukasz Jankowski on Radio Wnet.
09:58
Terlecki:
If the Civic Platform with the PSL Governed Now and Had to Deal with the Epidemic, it Would Be a Catastrophe Difficult to Imagine
"Let's imagine what would happen if the Civic Platform, or the Civic Platform with the PSL, governed now and had to deal with the epidemic. It would be a catastrophe difficult to imagine," said the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, Ryszard Terlecki of the Law and Justice (PiS) party, on Radio Wnet.

Nitras:
Taxing limited partnerships, abolishing the 'abolition relief' – these are desperate, harmful ideas. We see no way they can function in the Polish legal system.
- The public finance committee will commence shortly to consider the draft amendments to the Personal Income Tax Act, which in reality propose two key changes to the system that would take effect from next year. The first is the taxation of limited partnerships, and the second is the abolition of the so-called 'abolition relief' - said Sławomir Nitras during a press conference.
- The idea of taxing people who work abroad, who in this way support their families in Poland, because why do Poles work abroad? Often Poles are pushed out of the labor market in Poland. They work to send money back to Poland, so that thanks to this money, children, wives, very often entire families, including grandparents, live off the earnings of a person working abroad - he continued.
- These are desperate ideas, very harmful ideas, and ideas that represent a gigantic failure of the PiS government. We will very consistently oppose this. We see no possibility for these regulations to function within the Polish legal system - he added.

„Indeed, MPs, and now also senators, who did not adhere to discipline, must somehow bear the consequences of this fact. Regarding the MPs, we have spoken with most of the suspended MPs of our party, i.e., PiS. Both I and the party structure chief Krzysztof Sobolewski have spoken with them. Most declare loyalty and improvement, if one can put it that way. For now, they are suspended from their rights as party members, because the chairman has such prerogatives. It is the Political Committee that must convene to decide on expelling someone from the party. This is a transitional state” – said Ryszard Terlecki from PiS, Deputy Speaker of the Sejm, on Radio Wnet.
10:07
„A decision has not yet been made regarding their [senators'] suspension, but they will certainly be treated similarly to MPs. There are also differences among them - both in the Sejm and in the Senate. We are dealing with MPs who have gone very far in distancing themselves from the line binding all of us. I am thinking, for example, of Senator Jackowski, who not only votes but also speaks completely contrary to our media messaging. This will likely result in his expulsion from the club” - said the Deputy Speaker of the Sejm, Ryszard Terlecki from PiS, on Radio Wnet.

The Situation is Critical. We Urge the Government to Take Local Authorities Seriously. I Appeal to the President to More Actively Involve His Authority in the Current Situation
“The situation is critical. We urge the government to take local authorities seriously and to consult all these decisions with us. After the election campaign, I spoke with the president. Mr. President promised greater activity. And I also appeal to Mr. President to more actively involve his authority in the current situation, as the government clearly needs such support from the head of state,” said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, at a press conference.

Budka:
Government Suffered Absolute Defeat in the Fight Against Covid. The Ship is Sinking. Even the Captain of This Ship is in Quarantine.
“We submitted five postulates regarding a real fight against Covid. Unfortunately, none of these postulates have been fulfilled by the Prime Minister. As you can see, this government has suffered an absolute defeat in the fight against Covid. Unfortunately, the ship is sinking. Even the captain of this ship is in quarantine. Poles expect a concrete plan for a real fight against Covid” - said the chairman of Civic Platform, Borys Budka, at a press conference.

Today is the time to demand once again that the President convene the National Security Council. Today is the time for the President to step out of his comfort zone and act as the head of state.
"Today is the time to demand once again that President Duda convene the National Security Council. Today is the time for President Andrzej Duda to step out of his comfort zone and act as the head of state, because it concerns the security of citizens. We call on Mr. President, when the government is failing, to convene the NSC or to engage in direct talks with the opposition," said the chairman of Civic Platform, Borys Budka, at a press conference.

Budka:
I Appeal to President Kaczyński to Stop the Wave of Hatred Towards Doctors. Medical Professions Should Be Supported Not Through Intimidation or Hatred, but Through Basic Solidarity.
„I appeal to President Kaczyński to stop the wave of hatred towards doctors. Mr. President, you have become Deputy Prime Minister for Security. The security of all of us, Polish women and men, but also doctors, nurses, and paramedics, should be a priority. Medical professions should be supported not through intimidation or hatred, but through basic solidarity” - said the chairman of Civic Platform, Borys Budka, at a press conference.

The Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) has detained Roman Giertych. This information comes from the tweets of Sławomir D. and Maria Giertych.
This is a developing story.

Budka:
I've had many conversations with Kosiniak-Kamysz, and there are no enemies on the opposition side. He should fight to best represent farmers' interests in the countryside, while directing his grievances to those currently in power.
„I have had many conversations with Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and there are no enemies on the opposition side. He should fight to best represent farmers' interests in the countryside, while directing his grievances to those currently in power. Civic Coalition introduced good amendments in the Senate, resulting from a dialogue that was lacking in the Sejm. The interests of all those affected by this act should be balanced” - said the chairman of Civic Platform, Borys Budka, at a press conference.
14:31
Budka:
I Appeal to Kosiniak-Kamysz Once More Not to Seek Enemies Where There Are None
„I appeal to Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz once more not to seek enemies where there are none, but rather, as has been the case so far, to build cooperation with other opposition parties based on mutual respect, trust, but also diversity. We have different views on animal protection issues, but despite these different views, far more unites us” – said the Civic Platform leader, Borys Budka, at a press conference.

PMM:
The Fight Against the Covid Pandemic is the Most Important Matter, Our Most Crucial Task. Nothing is More Important for the Government at This Moment.
“The fight against the Covid pandemic is the most important matter, our most crucial task. Nothing is more important for the government at this moment than ensuring the safety and health of Poles. All our actions are subordinated to this. Now, every conversation concerns this topic. There are clearly defined tasks, set goals, and we have designed an operational procedure within the RZZK. This is a real threat, a real danger – for Poland, for all countries in Europe, and for the whole world” - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference.
17:50
"Our strategic goals are to protect the health and lives of Poles. In particular, I want to emphasize that the elderly, those above 65, above 70 years of age, are at risk of death. Let's protect the elderly. Our entire strategy also specifically targets the elderly, so that they can self-isolate and thus avoid infection. The second goal is to ensure the proper functioning of healthcare, our entire healthcare system, its efficiency. This is a very important task. Maintaining a working economy and a strong defense of jobs – this is the third strategic goal" – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference.

PMM:
We Dealt With Covid-19 in Spring and Can Deal With It Now. We Will Succeed, We Will Win This Fight, But Only If We Are United.

Travel on public transport will be limited to 50% of seated capacity or 30% of total capacity. For celebration events, such as weddings and confirmations, a maximum of 25 people will be allowed from October 19th, with no possibility of dancing. Gatherings of people up to 25 persons. Universities and secondary schools will move to hybrid learning” - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference.

Niedzielski:
152 Powiats, Nearly Half of Poland, in Red Zone. Population in These Areas Exceeds 70% of Poland's Total
- At the moment, we are dealing with a situation where 152 powiats, which is nearly half of Poland, are in the red zone. If we look at which powiats are precisely in the red zone, unfortunately, these are primarily densely populated powiats, and even though it's not a full 50% of the powiats in the country, the number of people living in these powiats significantly exceeds 70% of Poland's population - said Adam Niedzielski during a press conference.
18:05
Niedzielski:
Before Building New Hospitals, We're Focusing on More Efficient Use of Existing Bed Capacity
- Before we start building new hospitals, although we are indeed working on such projects and analyzing business plans for concrete ventures, our primary focus is on utilizing the existing bed infrastructure more effectively. This is particularly true at the district hospital level, which currently serves as the first line of defense against Covid - said Adam Niedzielski during a press conference.
18:18
- Minister Adam Niedzielski, along with the Government Crisis Management Team, has appealed to Speaker Witek to convene a new session of the Sejm, to call a session of the Sejm in the near future in order to adopt new regulations. Regulations that will be able to define the principles of healthcare functioning in the circumstances we find ourselves in - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a press conference.
- We will want to submit a draft. A draft of a legislative solution that is not just meant to be a word of support for medics, but to offer solutions that will improve their situation and, above all, remove certain risks associated with the fight against Covid, in which not only infectious disease specialists but doctors of other specialties will be involved - added Adam Niedzielski.
- We are working on creating the so-called "good Samaritan clause," which will allow doctors to feel safe and, as part of the fight against Covid, during this pandemic period, unintentional mistakes will simply not be punished - the minister continued.
- We will want to increase the bonus resulting from working with Covid, for medics directed to this work. Here, we want to pay 175% of the remuneration - he added.
- We will also want to regulate several competencies related to coordination, especially in medical rescue, in order to avoid situations where an ambulance drives between individual hospitals, because the medical rescue coordinator will have the privilege or authority to resolve disputes through an administrative decision - he stated.
19:44
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Giertych wrote something important in his tweet, so that his detention doesn't overshadow the most important matter. The spreading epidemic.
- This is a detention where the political background might not be a background, but could be the primary focus. But advocate Giertych wrote something important in his tweet, so that his detention doesn't overshadow the most important matter, which is what is happening in Poland today. The spreading epidemic, uncontrolled by the rulers, neglected by the rulers - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Sasin:
We are determined for the scenario of a lockdown, a strong blow to the economy, not to repeat itself
“We are determined for the scenario of a lockdown, a strong blow to the economy, not to repeat itself. We cannot afford that at the moment. Without a well-functioning economy, we will not be able to effectively fight the coronavirus, nor will we be able to secure funds for the healthcare system,” said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.
19:48
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Schools Should Not Open in September
- I believe that they [schools] should not be open in September. This is, unfortunately, I say unfortunately because I take no satisfaction in having been right then, because the biggest source of infections, scientists are already saying so, is transmission from schools, spread by children who have no symptoms, they go home to their grandparents. Grandparents, parents go to work, they meet - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TVN24.
19:50
Sasin:
Unused Funds Remain within Anti-Crisis Shields; We Are Ready to Compensate for Losses Now
“There are still unused funds within the anti-crisis shields. We are ready at this moment to compensate for losses. We are aware that there are sectors that will be affected, certainly including the tourism sector. We will monitor how the situation continues to unfold” - said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in Polsat News.
19:55
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
What was important during the summer? The LGBT debate? Endless reshuffles? Where is Duda? All decisions during the first wave of the epidemic were made at the President's request. Today, Duda is nowhere to be seen.
- Two weeks ago, 17 districts were in the red zone. This week, 34. From next week, 152 districts. 70% of the population in the red zone. This shows the scale of neglect. What was important during the summer? The LGBT debate? Endless reshuffles? Shifting blame? Where is President Duda? He promoted himself using the coronavirus before the campaign. All decisions before the campaign, during the election campaign, during the first lockdown, during the first wave of the epidemic, were made at the request of President Duda. And today, Andrzej Duda is nowhere to be seen - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TVN24.
19:56
Sasin:
I've Been Vilified for Days for Pointing Out a Problem – There's an Issue with Some Doctors Evading Their Duty
“I am a person who has been vilified for days for saying that there is a problem. Indeed, there is a problem with a certain group of doctors who are currently evading their duty to serve patients with Covid. This in no way means that it concerns the entire medical community; quite the opposite. We are dealing with tens of thousands of doctors and healthcare workers who are serving with great dedication, risking their health and lives” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Polsat News.

Bosacki:
Giertych is just earning his final qualifications for Prosecutor General. Żukowska: Not without us. We won't enter an arrangement that includes someone like Giertych.
This refers to a political exchange regarding a potential appointment of Roman Giertych to the position of Prosecutor General in Poland, with specific commentary from Ryszard Bosacki and Anna Maria Żukowska.
