Until August 31, new restrictions apply to entry into the territory of Poland due to the epidemic.
A mandatory 10-day quarantine applies to all persons crossing internal (Schengen/EU) and external borders with Poland. There are a number of exceptions to this rule. Among other things, quarantine can be avoided by people who:
- present a negative result of the SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test performed within 48 hours before crossing the border (applicable to crossing internal borders);
- cross the internal border as part of professional, business or gainful activities;
- provide a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 with a vaccine that has been authorized in the European Union and at least 14 days have passed since the vaccination was performed (applies to crossing external and internal borders);
- are traveling from a country that has agreed with Poland on the rules of the movement of people in connection with the restrictions introduced during the epidemic - at the moment it is Turkey.
It is worth noting that for people who started their journey from the territory of a country outside the Schengen area or a country which is not a Member State of the European Union, it is possible to shorten the quarantine period if the person obtained a negative result of the SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test after crossing the border of the Republic of Poland within a period not earlier than 7 days, counting from the moment of crossing the border.
From 10 July, people coming to Poland are also obliged to fill in the traveller's location card in an electronic form.
