WARSAW: Poland is experiencing a fifth wave of COVID-19 infections, the health minister said on Monday , warning that the spread of the Omicron variant could send daily case numbers soaring to levels not yet seen in the country.

"We predict that the peak of infections will be in mid-February and that peak is about 60,000 cases a day," Adam Niedzielski told a news conference.Niedzielski said that he expected figures released on Tuesday to show in excess of 20,000 daily cases. One of the members who resigned, Dr Konstanty Szuldrzynski, told TVN24 on Monday that the death rate in countries where stricter restrictions had been enforced had been lower than in Poland, and that the fifth wave would put the health service under enormous strain.

Niedzielski said he had tried to persuade the members of the council who left to continue their work as part of the body, but without success. He said a new advisory body would be created which would take a different form.
