#coronavirusalert: Quarantine for travelers extended until 31 January

The enforcement of quarantine after arrival to Poland was extended until 31 January. Additionally, the responsibility for informing the appropriate authorities about undergoing quarantine has been shifted in some cases to the travelers themselves.

The quarantine lasts for 10 days. Until 31 January it may apply to both persons coming to Poland from outside the EU and to those traveling by public transport (in particular by plane) inside the EU.

However, not all travelers will be quarantined – the list of exemptions will include, among others, persons who hold a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 (including foreign certificates), as well as persons who travel within the European Union to work in Poland.

In the case of travel from other EU countries, it is not the Border Guard, but the travelers themselves, who will be obliged to provide the relevant authorities with information about their entry and the requirement to undergo quarantine.

Due to the expiry of a relevant regulation, the ban on flights to Poland ceased to apply. According to the information provided by the Ministry of Infrastructure, the government is not working on a new regulation in this area. We can hope that the flight ban will be lifted for longer.
