After collecting the information on such facilities, the NMPT requested heads of locally
competent municipal governments, poviat (i.e county) governments as well as city mayors to provide
answers to the following questions:
1. How many people are quarantined in group quarantine facilities?
2. How have the quarantine facilities been established - who has issued the decision to
establish a given facility; have those bodies received the applicable standards,
recommendations and requirements that had to be met in order for the facility to be
designated as a quarantine facility?
3. How is the supervision of the quarantined people conducted – is there a person
responsible for ensuring that the people do not leave the facility? Is this person staying
in the quarantine facility?
4. How are the living needs of the quarantined people met - who does the shopping, by
whom are the meals provided, or are they made by the quarantined people themselves?
5. How do the quarantined people maintain contact with the outside world? Is there
anyone maintaining contact on their behalf?
6. Are personal hygiene products ensured to the quarantined people? Who provides those
products? Or are they bought by the quarantined people themselves?
7. How is access to medical care provided in medical cases unrelated to suspected
coronavirus infection?
8. Are the facility premises disinfected and how often?
9. Who is responsible for the supply of disinfectants?
