Virologist A. Włodzimierz Gut notes that some people no longer wear masks or wear them inappropriately where they are required to do so. When asked whether such a decision by the head of the Ministry of Health would have any consequences, he said that it depends on human behaviour. – I’ll be afraid. With 10,000 cases of COVID-19 every day, he said, taking off what was nested when there were 300 or fewer people infected per day is not the most logical solution somewhat. He admitted that it was a brave decision.

In his opinion, the “German situation” may occur, as the number of COVID-19 cases is currently increasing. According to the professor, one of the reasons may be the anti-war demonstrations where the rules of the epidemic were not respected. According to Reuters’ COVID-19 tracking data, 227,000 people are infected every day.

Asked if he recommends continuing to wear masks after the confinement order ends, Gott said: “Anyone can do whatever they want – they have complete freedom.” How he wants to risk – let him take a risk, his problem.

According to Gott, Nature will check the ministry’s decision. “We will have a review in about a month,” he concluded.
