Søndag 15. mars stenger Polen grensene sine for utenlandske statsborgere, men polske statsborgere som oppholder seg utlandet får muligheten til å reise hjem, melder nyhetsbyrået Reuters.
Polen har 68 bekreftede tilfeller av koronavirus.

Den franske byen Saint-Jean-de-Braye bryter en 25 år gammel vennskapsavtale med den polske byen Tuchow, som har erklært byen som LGBT-fri sone. Også flere andre polske byer har erklært seg som LGBT-frie soner.

Det er regjeringen i landet som i utgangspunktet har tatt initiativet til og har utformet erklæringene om å gjøre byene til soner uten seksuelle minoriteter.

Kunngjøringen fra myndighetene i Tuchow kommer som et svar på at Warszawas borgermester Rafal Trzaskowski har proklamert at den polske hovedstaden støtter LGBT-minoritetene og deres rettigheter, skriver Aftenposten.no.

– Vi fordømmer den holdningen vår vennskapsby Tuchow har inntatt, sier myndighetene i Saint-Jean-de-Braye.

Saint-Jean-de-Braye ligger i fylket Loiret i det nordlige Frankrike, og har vel 20,000 innbyggere. Tuchow ligger i det sørlige Polen, sør for Krakow, mot grensen til Slovakia, og har vel 6000 innbyggere.
