Four new cases of coronavirus infection in Poland have been confirmed - the Minister of Health Łukasz Szumowski informed at a press conference on Friday.
The minister said that one person travelled on the same bus as the man who was the first confirmed case of coronavirus in Poland. Two other persons returned from Italy to the city of Szczecin. Fourth case was confirmed in a person from Wrocław. "All patients have been placed under medical care" - he added.
"Two patients demonstrated exemplary behaviour, they reported themselves and notified sanitary services that they had been in a high-risk area. Probability of them being infected was assessed as moderately high, but they did not show any symptoms, and so they were quarantined at home and issued with medical leave from work" - Szumowski said.
"Later on they started to feel the symptoms. They called sanitary inspectorate and were referred to a hospital, where they were taken care of" - he added.
Minister Szumowski underscored that there were 5 people in Poland infected with the coronavirus. He said that none of the patients were at risk of death. "Most of the patients are in stable condition" - he informed.
