The COVID-19 virus, which is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China, has spread to Europe, prompting EU countries to issue stay-at-home orders. Poland has imposed a stay-at-home order on its citizens, closed its borders, and suspended all public transport, including trains and flights.

The Polish government has decided to close schools nationwide until March 25th, and children attending kindergarten and elementary school are to stay at home. As a result, the government has set up a website for home learning. Through this website, children can study based on the curriculum and timetable set for their grade level, complete assignments for each lesson, and submit them to their teachers via the internet.

The Polish government has also launched a website called ' Grarantanna ,' which offers a variety of entertainment options for children who have finished their online home learning. The site offers not only quizzes, logic puzzles, and math puzzles related to Polish history, but also tabletop role-playing games (TRPG) sessions, programming courses for game development, courses on using Unity , and game development contests. There are also events for junior high school students where they can win prizes such as an iPhone 11 Pro, a Nikon camera, and a gaming laptop.



Additionally, Poland's Ministry of Digitalization has launched a Minecraft server accessible to Polish students from elementary school to university. The server is set to creative mode, and children who register and agree to the terms and conditions can build freely. A building competition will also be held on the server, with prizes awarded to children who create winning designs. The competition will be streamed live online.

Poland's Ministry of Digitalization commented, 'Unplanned stay-at-home orders due to school cancellations don't have to mean boredom.'
