Less stringent restrictions if infection levels remain low
Data from recent days allow us to look to the future with optimism. Responsible behavior, following safety rules and the growing number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 are producing results. Recently, we have observed a decline in the daily number of infections. If this trend continues, restrictions will be gradually eased in May. This does not mean, however, that we have defeated the coronavirus. The fight continues. Therefore, despite the lifting of restrictions, remember the safety rules!
