New restrictions needed to curb spread of Covid-19 in Poland, says PM

Poland's prime minister has said the new Covid-19 restrictions were needed to stem the spread of coronavirus. The government announced a number of regulations on Monday as concern mounted over the new omicron variant. From December 1, the restrictions will apply to the number of people permitted in cultural venues, churches, hotels, restaurants and at functions such as wedding receptions. Fully vaccinated people will not count towards the limits, however.
