Poland restaurants to re-open when situation permits - PM's aide

The third stage of lifting of restrictions implemented to stem the coronavirus pandemic foresees permission for restaurants to operate only under special terms and conditions, the head of the PM's Office, Michal Dworczyk, told Polish Radio Three on Wednesday. Commenting on unofficial reports that restaurant terraces could open on May 18, Dworczyk said that the third stage of "unfreezing" the economy, including the reopening of restaurants, will be possible two weeks after the announcement of the second phase, which occurred on April 29, if everything goes well.
