Minister: Honest coronavirus information decisive to Poles' security

Addressing an extraordinary sitting of the Sejm on Monday, Health Minister Lukasz Szumowski said that honest information about the new coronavirus, conveyed also by politicians, was of key importance for the security of Poles. A special sitting of the Sejm was convened at President Andrzej Duda's request to present the government's report on steps taken and the current situation regarding the coronavirus threat. "I believe that no one sitting in this hall will use fear of the epidemic for the sake of direct party struggles," Szumowski said, adding that he wanted to inform the authorities and the public that "Poland is prepared for coronavirus."
