I recommended the defrosting of economy as soon as possible with all the sanitary restrictions kept. We will thus enter June with the economy fully open. This is a very good news not only for entrepreneurs from the sectors affected by the restrictions, but also for citizens. However, let us not forget that lowering restrictions requires each and everyone of us to act responsibly,

- says Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin.
