Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz said that she saw no need to introduce new restrictions or reinstate previous ones despite a sudden hike in new infections over the weekend, Reuters reports.

“There are no plans to do so,” Emilewicz told private broadcaster Polsat News.

Poland recorded 575 new coronavirus infections, with a similar number reported on Saturday.
