The Polsih government has been supporting local self-governments that run nursing homes since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, Marlena Maląg, minister of family, labor and social policy, said during a joint conference with Małgorzata Jarosińska-Jedynak, minister of development funds and regional policy. “We allocated an additional amount of PLN 20m from the state budget to co-finance the current activity of nursing homes,” said Maląg. Jarosińska-Jedynak added that about PLN 125m will be allocated to nursing homes and other care institutions, such as orphanages, as part of regional operational programs.
