August 2020 - holidays in Zakopane during the coronavirus pandemic

Holidays in Zakopane during the coronavirus pandemic

The 1st of August is the middle of the holiday. Zakopane and the hiking trails in the Tatra National Park are really crowded. In restaurants, shops, and in front of the entrances to various tourist attractions (even to the National Park!), we have to wait in long lines. I'm sorry to say that most tourists have completely forgotten about the epidemic. Almost nobody on the street wears a mask. Meanwhile, today in Poland a record of coronavirus cases has been broken - 658 new cases have been diagnosed. Currently, there are 130 patients with Covid 19 in Zakopane and its vicinity, but there are a few cases almost every day. As the owner of the DiscoverZakopane website, I always encourage you to come to Zakopane, but today I would like to advise the elderly and those suffering from chronic diseases not to visit our city.
