Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, being a guest of RMF FM radio station, spoke about the plans to fight the coronavirus pandemic, preparations for mass vaccinations and warned against the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

"The third wave is a real threat. Today in many European countries we observe an increase in the number of infections. Therefore, new restrictions are emerging in Germany or the Czech Republic. I want to warn against this third wave of coronavirus. Lets think of what will happen in January, February and March. - said Mateusz Morawiecki.

“Today, we see that throughout the European Union they are thinking not about loosening but about tightening restrictions. We want our grandparents and parents to survive this holiday. This is the most important – he added during the meeting.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• Wash your hands frequently. Use soapy water and an alcohol-based disinfectant.
• Keep a safe distance from people who cough and sneeze.
• Wear a mask when distance is not possible.
• Do not touch eyes, nose or mouth.
• When coughing or sneezing, cover your nose and mouth with the inside of your elbow or tissue.
• If you feel unwell, stay at home.
• If you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor.

Protective/medical masks help prevent the transmission of viruses from the person wearing the mask to others. You should also keep your distance from other people and keep your hands clean.

The World Health Organization (WHO) warned Europe about the third wave of the virus in early 2021. WHO Special Envoy COVID-19 predicts a third wave of the pandemic in Europe in early 2021 if governments repeat their mistakes in preventing a second wave of the pandemic. “They missed building the necessary infrastructure in the summer months after they mastered the first wave,” said David Nabarro of WHO in an interview with Swiss newspapers, quoted by Reuter. “Now we have a second wave. If they do not build the necessary infrastructure, we will have a third wave early next year,” Nabarro said.

According to the WHO, Europe is responsible for 28% of global COVID-19 cases and 26% of deaths with clear symptomsof of health care systems overload. The UK has suffered more from the “coronavirus” than any other country in Europe, with more than 54,000 deaths and 1.4 million cases identified.

COVID-19 infected more than 73 million people worldwide, causing almost 1.7 million deaths. The United States is the world leader in the number of coronavirus deaths, with more than 300,000 registered deaths, and has become the first country to exceed the grim milestone of a quarter million deaths.
