Coronavirus #103 – Szczecin now a Yellow Zone

The Council of Ministers has decided that starting from 3 October (Saturday) Szczecin will be a Yellow Zone. This is in response to the recent increase in the number of COVID-19 infections in our City. The decision means more changes and restrictions for residents.  

The City of Szczecin stays in regular contact with the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service (SANEPID), and will continue to follow its guidelines – this applies to city events and institutions of culture. Dear residents, please use your good judgement and act responsibly. This is the only way for us to avoid becoming a Red Zone, where restrictions are much stricter.
