Coal mine in Upper Silesia poses serious threat to Poland

A coal mine situated in the Upper Silesia region of the European country of Poland has contributed immensely towards the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.

In the recent past, as many as 1,151 new cases of Covid-19 have been reported in the country. Notably, the major portion of the figure is from the controversial Upper Silesia region.

According to a report published by an International media house, an outbreak among miners and their families at the Zofiowka colliery in the aforesaid region accounts for around two-thirds of that figure.

Poland is one of those European countries which have imposed strict lockdown measures. Since March, the country is under lockdown.

It is unfortunate that when most of the countries are recovering from the crisis this country is struggling with the rise of new cases.  

In the country, so far as many as 1,157 people have died due to the Covid-19 outbreak and over 26,561 people have been infected.

Globally, the death toll due to the Covid -19 outbreak has crossed around 4,00,000. And, the outbreak has left at least 6.9 million people infected.  V
