Wear masks when in public after 5 weeks of other restrictions makes no sense
It's either a sham designed to back up 'the peak is yet to come' story so they can have their postal election, or else it's a precursor to the lifting of restrictions. Get the people used to wearing masks (did you notice they have to be worn in all public settings including the workplace) and then you can lift restrictions en masse rather than gradually. Poles in general and PIS in particular are not big on subtleties. A carefully designed lifting of restrictions would require too much planning, patience and cooperation so they'll take the sledgehammer approach as usual.
Poland's hospitalization and fatality rate has been pretty low (thanks to restrictions)
There have probably been many deaths from coronavirus during the last few weeks that haven't been recorded as such because they've occurred outside a hospital setting - and probably many more people who've had the virus and been quite ill without ever going near a hospital.
