WARSAW (Reuters) – Up to 30% of the people now contracting COVID-19 in Poland could end up being hospitalised, the health minister said on Wednesday, as the government weighs new restrictions amid an ongoing spike in cases.
“From studies by our experts, about 20 to 30% of new daily coronavirus cases could end up in hospital, which means we could have up to 2,000 to 3,000 new patients in hospital daily,” Poland’s Health Minister Adam Niedzielski told Poland’s lower house of parliament.
