What you should know before you go to Poland!
In Poland there are still distance regulations and in some cases a mask is required. Some regulations are stricter than in Germany, very high fines ... which are IMMEDIATELY due!
Anyone who is now planning a flying visit to the Poland market or a shopping tour in Swinoujscie should be prepared for some important rules.
In the neighboring country, the minimum distance in public areas (also outside) is two meters. Carers of needy and small children are excluded. Children and adolescents under the age of 13 are allowed to stay in the public space without an adult.
There is no obligation to wear a mask under the open sky. “Mouth and nose must be covered in shops, local public transport, churches, public institutions, cinemas, theaters, cultural centers. Everyday masks must also be worn if compliance with a two-meter distance cannot be guaranteed, ”says the Polish embassy in Berlin.
