The Polish government has decided to further ease the restrictions imposed in response to the coronavirus epidemic, opening fitness clubs, theatres and cinemas as well as scrapping the face mask requirement in open spaces, PM Morawiecki announced on Wednesday.

From Saturday, Poles will no longer have to wear masks outside and limits of customers in shops and restaurants will be lifted.

The government is also bringing back the possibility to gather, but with a limit of 150 people.

Fitness clubs, theatres and cinemas, which have remained closed for two months, will have to follow a strict sanitary regime. However, discos and clubs will remain closed.

There will be no limits on the number of churchgoers present at services and wedding services will be allowed for up to 150 people. (PAP)
