Poland has reported a record 9,622 new coronavirus infections, according to health ministry data, as fitness workers gathered in the capital to protest against fresh restrictions to fight the pandemic.
The country was initially successful in containing the virus in spring but has faced a sharp rise in the number of infections and related deaths in recent weeks, threatening to overload the health system, Reuters reported.
Earlier this week the government urged citizens to stay at home and ordered gyms and pools to close, restaurants to limit opening hours and a shift to remote teaching in universities and secondary schools.
