Poland's Małopolska region Governor Krzysztof Jan Klęczar said on Tuesday that the patients' condition could be described as stable and that their health gave reason for optimism. 

One woman was discharged from Narutowicz Hospital on Monday. 

An Austrian citizen was also discharged from Rydygier Hospital and transferred to Austria in stable condition for further treatment. The medical transport was organised in cooperation with Austrian diplomatic services. 

Klęczar cautioned that a stable condition was a medical term and did not mean the injured officers were no longer suffering. He said he had met one of them on Monday and that the officer was still in pain and had serious wounds. 

He added that it was too early to say when the officers would be able to leave hospital. 

The governor also commented on a video call between the two injured police officers arranged on Monday at their request. He described it as an emotional moment of solidarity and said the conversation had given the officers strength. 

A 24-year-old Polish man, identified by prosecutors as Michał Oksiński, drove into the market square in Kraków on Saturday and opened fire on passers-by. Six people were killed and 16 injured, including the two police officers and the attacker himself. 

The suspect was shot by police and taken into custody. He died in hospital early on Monday.
