Poland plans to open a temporary hospital at Warsaw’s landmark national stadium to ease the strain on the healthcare system from spiking coronavirus cases, the government said on Monday.
Poland has recorded multiple new records in daily cases and deaths in the past weeks, with doctors reporting shortages of personnel, hospital beds and equipment.
“I fear that looking at the development of the situation we will have his infrastructure set up for weeks if not months in several places in Poland,” government spokesman Piotr Muller told state broadcaster TVP Info.
