Border restrictions on Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship to be lifted next week

Border restrictions between the Czech Republic and the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland will be eased from next week, the Czech minster of health, Adam Vojtěch, said on Saturday. Neither Czechs nor foreigners entering Czech territory from that part of Poland will need to produce a negative test for Covid-19 or enter quarantine, he said.

Such measures have been in place because of a relatively high incidence of the coronavirus on the Polish side of the border. This has caused complications for the closely connected communities on both sides of the border.
