– In my view, the epidemic will last at least a year. Therefore, let us prepare for an unfortunately long fight against the coronavirus – said Health Minister Łukasz Szumowski in an interview with Robert Mazurek of RMF FM.

What about the summer holidays?

Minister Ł. Szumowski:

We can forget about holidays as we imagine them, and as we have had them so far, because there is no scientific data that would say: the epidemic will die out because of summer.

There is no data to suggest that this will happen. In parts of the world where temperatures are much higher and there is plenty of sunshine, the virus is present and the epidemic is ongoing; therefore, I do not expect June–July to suddenly eliminate the epidemic – unfortunately, we will be dealing with it for a year.

This means that there will probably be neither summer camps nor holiday camps this year. Details on the RMF FM and rp.pl.
