Poland will spend over 100 billion zlotys ($23.99 billion) to help companies affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the prime minister said on Wednesday, in a move he hopes will save up to 5 million jobs.

"We are at war to save jobs," Mateusz Morawiecki told a news conference.

The spending brings total support for the Polish economy to 320-330 billion zlotys, Morawiecki said. ($1 = 4.1682 zlotys)
