Poland's total number of ovid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic has passed three million, health ministry data shows, with daily cases hitting their highest in the fourth wave as a spike in infections gathers pace.

Amid wide disregard for rules on wearing masks, infections in Poland are surging ahead of All Saints' Day, when crowds of people visit cemeteries to pay their respects to the dead in a tradition that could contribute to the spread of the virus, reports Reuters.

The new 9,387 cases are Poland's highest since April, with 102 deaths. In total, the country of about 38 million people has reported 3,008,294 cases and 76,875 Covid-19-related deaths.
