In February 2020, four-member teams at the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene (NIPH–NIH) together with the Berlin hospital Charité carried out 307 genetic tests of samples from suspected SARS-CoV-2 carriers. NIPH–NIH carried out the tests in its Warsaw laboratory and in the Wojewódzki Szpital Zakaźny in Warsaw. Diagnostic laboratories in eight other towns were being prepared for making similar analyses. The Ministry of Health refused to state how many test kits were available in Polish laboratories.{{Cite web |url=https://www.medonet.pl/koronawirus/koronawirus-w-polsce,w-kierunku-koronawirusa-nizp-pzh-przebadal-307-osob,artykul,78353052.html |title=NIZP–PZH przebadał 307 próbek pobranych od osób z podejrzeniem zakażenia koronawirusem |last=Lipiec |first=Aleksandra |date=29 February 2020 |website=Medonet.pl |language=pl |trans-title=NIZP–PZH analysed 307 tests from people suspected of coronavirus infection |url-access= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200229225340/https://www.medonet.pl/koronawirus/koronawirus-w-polsce,w-kierunku-koronawirusa-nizp-pzh-przebadal-307-osob,artykul,78353052.html |archive-date=29 February 2020 |access-date=29 February 2020}}

On 1 and 2 March 2020 new law (nicknamed {{langx|pl|specustawa}}, lit. special law) to manage a possible epidemic of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases in Poland via administrative, budgetary and epidemiological measures passed through a first reading by a parliamentary committee and through second and third readings by the Polish lower house of parliament, the Sejm, with 400 votes out of 418 in favour in the third reading.{{Cite web |url=https://www.sejm.gov.pl/Sejm9.nsf/PrzebiegProc.xsp?nr=265 |title=Rządowy projekt ustawy o szczególnych rozwiązaniach związanych z zapobieganiem, przeciwdziałaniem i zwalczaniem COVID-19, innych chorób zakaźnych oraz wywołanych nimi sytuacji kryzysowych |date=3 March 2020 |website=Sejm |language=pl |trans-title=Government bill on specific solutions linked with the prevention, response and fighting against COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them |url-access= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303222359/https://www.sejm.gov.pl/Sejm9.nsf/PrzebiegProc.xsp?nr=265 |archive-date=3 March 2020 |access-date=3 March 2020}} Konfederacja was the only parliamentary club which voted against the measure.{{Cite web |url=http://www.gazetaprawna.pl/artykuly/1456952,sepecustawa-koronawirusowa-uchwalona-przez-sejm.html |title=Sepecustawa koronawirusowa uchwalona przez Sejm |website=gazetaprawna.pl |date=3 March 2020 |access-date=12 March 2020}} Philosopher and law professor {{ill|Jerzy Zajadło|pl}} praised the discussion of the bill in the Sejm, in that the Speaker allowed members of parliament to discuss the bill under the principles of deliberative democracy, which he judged rare for the parliament dominated by PiS. Zajadło criticised the bill as establishing vague powers with little chance of checks and balances, which he saw as being in the spirit of the approach of the political party in power; he saw the bill as establishing a permanent state of emergency for COVID-19 and all other contagious diseases; he criticised the wide array of changes implied in the law as having consequences difficult to predict; and he judged the law to be unnecessary given that laws covering the situation already existed.{{Cite web |url=https://konstytucyjny.pl/jerzy-zajadlo-demokracja-deliberatywna-w-pulapce/ |title=Jerzy Zajadło: Demokracja deliberatywna w pułapce – Trzy grzechy ustawy dotyczącej koronawirusa |date=4 March 2020 |website=konstytucyjny.pl |language=pl |trans-title=Jerzy Zajadło: Deliberative democracy as a trap – Three sins of the coronavirus law |url-access= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200304233636/https://konstytucyjny.pl/jerzy-zajadlo-demokracja-deliberatywna-w-pulapce/ |archive-date=4 March 2020 |access-date=5 March 2020 }} Ewa Łętowska, a former judge in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, also criticised the law as effectively creating a new, 180-day long state of emergency, in addition to the state of emergency rules defined in the Polish Constitution for a maximum of 90 days. She interpreted the law as giving the authorities arbitrary power without control by administrative courts.{{Cite news |last=Jałoszewski |first=Mariusz |url=https://oko.press/koronawirus-w-polsce-ograniczy-na-zawsze-nasze-prawa-analiza-oko-press-ustawa-pis-to-prawny-populizm/ |title=Koronawirus w Polsce ograniczy na zawsze nasze prawa?

On 3 March 2020 a total of 559 SARS-CoV-2 tests had been run for people in Poland suspected of SARS-CoV-2 infection, all with negative results, while the numbers of people home quarantined and monitored increased and the number of hospitalised, suspected cases dropped.

On 4 March 2020 the Minister of Health claimed that nine laboratories were carrying out SARS-CoV-2 testing (NIPH–NIH and Voivodeship Infectious Disease Hospital in Warsaw, and laboratories in Olsztyn, Wrocław, Poznań, Katowice, Rzeszów, Gdańsk and Kielce), while OKO.press claimed that only four laboratories were carrying out the testing. The Minister claimed that "sanitary–epidemiological stations" in Lublin, Łódź and Poznań would start SARS-CoV-2 tests the following day. On 6 March, the Minister stated that 13 laboratories were running SARS-CoV-2 tests.

The first lab-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 in Poland was announced on 4 March 2020, out of 584 tests in total.{{Cite web |url=https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2020-03-04/poland-reports-first-coronavirus-case-health-minister |title=Poland Reports First Coronavirus Case – Health Minister |date=4 March 2020 |publisher=usnews.com |access-date=4 March 2020}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.gov.pl/web/zdrowie/pierwszy-przypadek-koronawirusa-w-polsce |title=Pierwszy przypadek koronawirusa w Polsce |date=4 March 2020 |website=Ministry of Health |language=pl |trans-title=First case of coronavirus in Poland |url-access= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200304112521/https://www.gov.pl/web/zdrowie/pierwszy-przypadek-koronawirusa-w-polsce |archive-date=4 March 2020 |access-date=4 March 2020 }} The patient, a 66-year-old man, returned from a visit to Westphalia in Germany by bus to Świecko and from there by private car to Cybinka.

In the evening of 2 March, a sample from the patient was sent for analysis to Warsaw. The result was known to be positive during the night of 3 to 4 March, and announced by the Minister of Health at 8:00 local time on 4 March.

On 17 March 2020 a doctor at a hospital in Grójec, "Z.", had a dry cough and fever and had a sample taken for SARS-CoV-2 testing. While several members of staff did not want to work with him, the head of their group disagreed but decided after a long debate to isolate Z. The hospital continued to function for the rest of the day without disinfection of the places where Z. had been present. On 18 March Z. was confirmed to be SARS-CoV-2 positive, and the hospital took samples from close contacts of Z. from the previous five days. Some of the nurses were ordered back to work at the hospital while waiting for their test results.

Former prime minister of Poland Leszek Miller described the gathering as showing contempt for ordinary people respecting the COVID-19 restrictions.

Polish authorities did not participate in the 28 February 2020 European Union tender procedure for purchasing COVID-19 pandemic related medical equipment like gloves, goggles, face shields, surgical masks, and protective clothing, in which 20 other member states participated.

In March 2020, the Minister of Health Łukasz Szumowski claimed that European solidarity in the provision of medical equipment to Poland had failed. OKO.press qualified the claim as "false" and accused the minister of deliberately misleading public opinion. OKO.press referred to the European Union tender process for masks and other protective equipment as a "success" that Poland applied for very late, and commented as context that the EU does not have the legal powers to impose health management policy, such as quarantine measures or closing schools, on member states. The EU tender process was announced on 28 February 2020, to which 20 member states, without Poland, responded. Poland joined the mechanism on 6 March, qualifying for a procedure opened on 17 March for the purchase of gloves, goggles, face protectors, surgical masks and clothing. The European Commission claimed that all the purchases were satisfied by offers, and should arrive within two weeks. Commissioner Thierry Breton described the procedure as illustrating the power of EU coordination. On 19 March 2020 the EU had announced the creation of the {{not a typo|rescEU}} strategic stockpile of medical equipment, to be financed at the level of 90% by the commission, to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every day starting on July 1, every 500th person to receive was to get a cash prize of PLN200 (€40) while every 2,000th person was to win PLN500 and every week for three months until the end of September, the government promised to give away five prizes of PLN50,000 and 720 electric scooters.{{Cite web|title=Poland kicks off COVID-19 vaccination lottery|date = 2 July 2021|url=https://www.intellinews.com/poland-kicks-off-covid-19-vaccination-lottery-214644/}} These incentives were designed to encourage the population to get vaccinated since, at the time of the lottery's launch, only 35% of Poland's population had been fully vaccinated against coronavirus.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}

After the first laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 case in Poland on 4 March 2020, in Lubusz Voivodeship, bordering Germany, cases were confirmed in seven other voivodeships throughout Poland during 5–9 March 2020, covering eight of the sixteen voivodeships. On 17 March, all sixteen voivodeships had recorded SARS-CoV-2 positive cases, with the final two voivodeships being Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Podlaskie.

On 15 March, Poland closed its land borders for 10 days, and international airports for 14 days for passenger traffic, only allowing Polish residents, citizens and those with immediate Polish family to enter Poland. People entering Poland were required to be quarantined for 14 days.{{Cite web |url=https://www.gov.pl/web/qatar/polands-borders-closed-from-15-march-due-to-coronavirus |title=Poland's borders closed from 15 March due to coronavirus |date=17 March 2020 |website=government of Poland |url-access= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200321161812/https://www.gov.pl/web/qatar/polands-borders-closed-from-15-march-due-to-coronavirus |archive-date=21 March 2020 |access-date=21 March 2020 }} The way in which borders were controlled was criticised as it caused traffic disruptions, forcing drivers to wait in long lines.{{Cite web|title=Trudna sytuacja na granicy polsko-niemieckiej.

On 26 March 2020, the Polish health authorities' classification of COVID-19 deaths only included deaths of people with lab-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, classified as U07.1 under the ICD-10 international disease classification system.

Stefan Karczmarewicz, writing in Polityka, interpreted this as an attempt by authorities to lower the official COVID-19 death toll in Poland. He argued that there was a policy of limiting the number of SARS-CoV-2 tests, which together with the exclusion of the ICD-10 category U07.2 implied an underestimate of the true COVID-19 death toll. NIPH–NIH stated that the omission was unintentional due to the timing, and updated its instructions on 1 April, instructing doctors to also use the U07.2 definition of clinically or epidemiologically classified COVID-19 cases. NIPH–NIH stated that the WHO considered it "irrelevant" to distinguish between U07.1 and U07.2. On 6 April 2020 Bartosz Fiałek, a Polish rheumatologist, claimed that the NIPH–NIH instructions were unclear, and that it appeared that U07.2 was not being used for COVID-19 deaths in hospital in which SARS-CoV-2 tests had not been carried out, nor for people dying of COVID-19 in quarantine.{{cite news | last1= Szukalska | first1= Hanna | language =pl | title= Polska zbija termometr: Covid-19 nie znajdzie się na karcie zgonu bez testu.

As of 26 March 2020, the prosecutor investigating his death had not decided whether or not to carry out a SARS-CoV-2 laboratory test on the corpse. The dead body of a 50-year-old woman who returned from Germany to Konin and felt ill was found by her family on 24 March. {{ill|Główny Inspektorat Sanitarny|pl}} (GIS, the national health agency) refused to test the corpse for SARS-CoV-2. {{As of|2020|03|27}}, GIS had not stated what procedures were in place for post mortem tests. {{As of|2020|04|06}}, it was not known if any laboratories in Poland were qualified to carry out post-mortem SARS-CoV-2 tests.

There were several claims of COVID-19 deaths unreported by the Ministry of Health. In early April, Warsaw City Council stated that there had been 32 COVID-19 deaths in Warsaw, while official statistics only listed eight. The Minister of Health stated that the difference was that deaths were officially allocated according to the official places of residence of the deceased. The mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, stated that the data were carefully checked, and that 18 of the 32 were registered as officially living in Warsaw, not eight.

Disagreement between local media, the head of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, and GIS continued for several days in early April in relation to the 4 April death in a Grudziądz hospital of a 64-year-old woman from Grudziądz who was SARS-CoV-2 positive. {{ill|Gazeta Pomorska|pl}} stated that the head of the voivodeship only accepted including the 64-year-old's death in official reports after the newspaper "intervened". {{As of|2020|04|08}}, according to Gazeta Pomorska, the Ministry of Health still listed only one COVID-19 death from Grudziądz (that of an 80-year-old), while local branches of the health agency stated zero SARS-CoV-2 infections from Grudziądz in their reports.
