In September 2020, more than half of Poles declared that the COVID-19 pandemic still poses a threat and should be taken seriously, and all should respect the wearing of masks and maintain social distance. However, nearly every second respondent is already tired of the pandemic, and every fourth respondent will take the COVID-19 vaccine if it is available.
