Gov't spokesman warns of potential lockdown if vaccinations are slow

Poland may face another partial lockdown in the autumn if most of the society is not vaccinated against Covid-19, Piotr Mueller, the government spokesman, has warned. So far, just over 15.5 million people in the country of 38 million have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, which is a risk considering new variants of the virus spreading across the world, Mueller told public television on Thursday. "We should be honest and say that if a certain number of people do not get vaccinated, we're facing a partial lockdown in the autumn and we're facing inefficacy of a part of the health service."
