The number of new virus cases rose by 166 from the previous day, while the death toll increased by two, according to public health authorities.
The latest deaths in Poland’s coronavirus outbreak are a 38-year-old woman and a 78-year-old man in the western city of Poznań, the Polish health ministry said in a tweet.
It added that both these patients had pre-existing medical conditions.
On Sunday, the Polish health ministry reported 13 deaths throughout the day and a record 545 new coronavirus infections nationwide, compared with 16 deaths and 363 new cases a day earlier.
The health ministry announced on Monday morning that 2,511 people with suspected coronavirus infection were in hospitals nationwide, with a further 111,079 quarantined, and 17,266 under epidemiological supervision.
Meanwhile, 1,133 patients have recovered from COVID-19 in hospitals across the country, the health ministry also said.
The first infection was confirmed by Polish authorities on March 4, while the country's first coronavirus fatality was announced on March 12.
Poland has since declared a "state of epidemic" and temporarily closed its borders to non-residents in a move to curb the spread of the illness.
International scheduled flights and passenger rail connections were suspended on March 15.
In another move to contain the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the government has limited the operations of shopping malls and closed all pubs, clubs and entertainment venues.
Public gatherings of more than two people have been banned.
Health and government officials have urged Poles to stay home and practice social distancing.
An initial two-week closure of the country’s schools has been extended until April 26.
People have to wear masks or other face coverings when out in public.
Poland on Monday eased some of its coronavirus lockdown restrictions, allowing more customers into stores and reopening parks and forests.
