About 10% of Ukrainians working in Poland have come home in the last three weeks, estimates LIGA.net. Through Tuesday, 143,200 left Poland, according to Agnieszka Golias, spokeswoman of Poland’s State Border Service. Last year, Ukraine’s embassy in Warsaw estimated 1.5 million Ukrainians were working in Poland. To encourage Ukrainians to stay, Poland’s Health Ministry says that all will receive free Covid-19 tests and, if positive, free treatment. Poland’s Sejm recently approved an anti-crisis program that gives labor migrants automatic extensions of work visas and residence cards for the length of the epidemic, plus 30 days.
