In response to numerous enquiries from anglers, we would like to inform you that there is no ban on fishing; however, restrictions on freedom of movement and a ban on gatherings have been introduced in connection with the coronavirus (Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 31 March 2020 on the establishment of certain restrictions, orders and prohibitions in connection with the declaration of a state of epidemic) for the period from 1 April 2020 to 11 April 2020.

- meeting essential needs related to day-to-day life, including obtaining healthcare or psychological care for that person or their next of kin within the meaning of Article 115 § 11 of the Act of 6 June 1997 – the Criminal Code (Journal of Laws of 2019, items 1950 and 2128), and if the person travelling is cohabiting with another person – also the closest relative of the person with whom they are cohabiting, and the purchase of goods and services related thereto;
