deputy chief health ministry Waldemar Kraska announced on Tuesday in Program I of Polish Radio that, according to the latest report, 4,834 new cases have been confirmed in Poland COVID-19.

– We haven’t had such a number of new infections in terms of COVID-19 for a long time. Our forecasts predicted it. We are now at the peak of the spring wave. I think this week will be a breakthrough, because the forecasts we receive (…) show that there will be a downward trend after that – indicated Kraska.

He reported that 18 people from COVID-19 died last good. Unfortunately, the virus is not going away. We can also see it in the number of people who are hospitalized. This is also a record number now – over 2,600 people. 44 people are connected to a ventilator, which means they are in a serious condition – emphasized the deputy minister.

He expressed hope that this is “the last murmur of COVID-19 when it comes to spring 2023”.

The deputy head of the Ministry of Health pointed out that viruses also attack children. – The number of typical infections in the spring period persists. At the moment, almost 65 percent of hospital beds are occupied by children. It has been at a similar level for about a dozen weeks, he said.

When asked what is more dangerous, flu or covid, the deputy minister of health replied that in terms of mortality it is covid. – Flu, in terms of permanent complications, especially when it comes to the cardiovascular system, sometimes leaves a trace for the rest of your life. And this is most often the case with young people, he noted Waldemar Kraska.
