"For now, the situation is still – in my opinion – under control. This is a typical surge. It could have been done two weeks earlier – by closing secondary and higher education schools. There is a chance that the curve [of infections and mortality] would look different [if restrictions had been introduced two weeks ago]. At this moment, the resistance from society and decision-makers was so great that there was no consent to introduce these types of restrictions. These types of restrictions are not introduced by doctors, but by the government. This is not a mistake, because there were no preconditions yet to introduce this type of [restriction]" – said the national consultant in infectious diseases, Professor Andrzej Horban, in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on "Sprawdzam" on TVN24.
