Isolation, quarantine and mask-wearing
obligation indoors (except for health care outposts) are lifted. In my opinion,
it is too early to say the pandemic is over and COVID-19 should be treated like
a flu, especially if countries which have followed that strategy are paying the
price.

I visit Lidl in the morning and the shopping mall in Janki in the evening.
Around one-fourth of people, including me, continue to wear masks. It takes
quite little effort, but gives reasonable protection – until the level of new
infections declines to three digits per day, I will carry on covering my mouth
and nose in public indoor spaces.

The number of hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients in Poland drops below
5,000, for the first time since 24 October 2021.

The customary (and the last) month-end report of the sluggish pace of
vaccinations in Poland.
1. Vaccine uptake in age groups
2. Vaccination status in the entire population of Poland

On 5 March 2022 I predicted the total number of detected cases in Poland today would reach 6,000,000. I got it wrong by 33,030 cases. With poorer access to tests and the epidemic officially called off by politicians I refrain from predicting when the seventh million is reached.
The 7-day average of new infections in Poland falls below 5,000, for the first time since 25 October 2021.

The Polish Ministry of Health changes reporting methodology. Data on antigen testing and hospitalisations will be reported in weekly intervals. For some time new infections and deaths will be reported daily. Officially the pandemic draws to a close, but does the virus know it?

Thanks to restricted access to testing, new infections in Poland drop by 84% week-on-week. Jaw drops open.

My workmates from the sales team went on an off-site integration event last week. Two-third have tested positive for COVID-19. Was the minister wrong, when claiming the pandemic was over?
Tuesday, 5 April 2022
The 7-day average of new infections in Poland falls below 3,000, for the first time since 19 October 2021.

Vaccinations for adults are not just against COVID-19. Today I got voluntarily a self-paid shot of Boostrix Polio vaccine.
Thursday, 7 April 2022
The 7-day average of new infections in Poland falls below 2,000, for the first time since 13 October 2021. Given Poland actually nearly ceased to carry out testing, hospitalisations reported weekly and excess deaths might become the only measure of the (bygone) pandemic.

The 7-day average number of deaths in Poland declines below 50. Good news!
Saturday, 9 April 2022
While in Poland COVID-19 has been called off, worth noting there are countries in Europe which have seen all-time high of new infections in the second half of March:
- Finland on 16 March,
- Austria, on 18 March,
- Germany, on 24 March,
- Cyprus on 30 March.
