Czarnek was originally to have received the nomination on October 5 along with other new ministers but earlier in the day tested positive for coronavirus. 

The appointment of ministers was then postponed until October 6, when all new ministers apart from Czarnek received their nominations.

Prior to the reorganisation of the government, there were two separate ministries - education, run by Dariusz Piontkowski, and science and higher education, run by Wojciech Murdzek. (PAP)
