“The peak of infection and hospitalization in the fourth wave is behind us,” Health Minister Adam Nidzelsky wrote on Twitter. He added that he hopes for further declines in distance learning, which begins on Monday, which will extend the holiday of absence of children and young people from school.
“The peak of contagion and hospitalization in the fourth wave is behind us,” Adam Nidzelsky wrote. “The 3-week break in full-time study starting tomorrow should accelerate the decline,” he added.
The Minister of Health stressed that “Descent from high levels of infection and hospitalization is necessary in the context of the risks associated with the Omikron variant.”
