Michał Dworczyk, head of the Prime Minister's Office, said on Monday that Morawiecki would spell out the government’s latest move after consulting doctors, experts and the health ministry.
Dworczyk added: “It is clear that efforts should certainly be intensified to ensure people comply with the rules already introduced, but additional regulations should also be considered.”
A total of 2,055 people have tested positive for the coronavirus in Poland, with 31 deaths from the epidemic so far, officials said on Monday evening.

International scheduled flights and passenger rail connections were suspended on March 15. The government is chartering special flights to help Poles abroad return home.

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 Easter.
