Is Poland likely to be on the quarantine list?

Travelling to Poland in three weeks time and just wondering if anyone knows if this country is likely to go on the quarantine list?

I very much doubt you will find anyone that has a crystal ball that can tell whether their rates will increase, decrease or stay the same. You could keep an eye on their stats here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/poland/

Technically there's no quarantine list as the government advice against all but essential travel except to a list of safe countries. The safe countries are generally ones with an infection rate of below 20 per 100,000 (averaged over 14 days) so all you can do is keep an eye on how Poland's infection rate is fairing - if it's increasing there's a risk they'll advise against all but essential travel to Poland, if it's decreasing or staying constant then there is unlikely to be any changes.

As above, nobody can predict and if it is to be added to quarantine it'll be done with about 36 hours notice.

I've got Poland as a back up towards the end of October for a Spanish Trip that I expect to be a non-starter.
So far it has remained well below the "20 per 100,000" so let's hope that trend continues.

Its all well and good Poland remaining a low rate. The issue now is that countries like Poland could now put the UK on their own blacklists.

Keep your plans to Poland to yourself. Once the great unwashed hear it about and start piling over the rate will shoot up !

That would be my concern too.

Our rising rate of new infections has put us way over the "20 per 100,000" over 7 days figure that our own government use.

Our 7 day average has doubled over the last 9 days.

With the amount of Poles resident in the UK it may be treated a little more leniently than the others !!!
I had a trip to Albania cancelled by BA this week (early October) but again had a back up of Germany another Country well down the list alongside Poland.

Hopefully that will remain the case.

Had I been foolish enough to book with LM.com (again) all this chopping and changing would have been a nightmare.

With British Airways customer promise it's a doddle.

What countries have Poland treated less leniently?

I would have thought that our (UK) rising rate of infection - more than doubled over the last 2 weeks - would be of concern to most countries as far as allowing entry is concerned.

No foundation in facts, after four holiday cancellations this year it's known as "grasping at straws"  !!
