National carrier LOT, which is running the operation together with the Polish government, has provided over such 320 flights.
More than 800 citizens of other European countries who qualified for the initiative were also able to return home, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
All passengers returning to Poland have their temperature taken and then have to undergo a 14-day quarantine.
Poland on March 15 closed its borders to non-residents and suspended scheduled international passenger air connections in an effort to stem the coronavirus outbreak.
The government later declared a “state of epidemic" and announced that the country’s borders would stay shut until April 13.
A total of 2,946 people have tested positive for the COVID-19 disease in Poland, with 57 deaths from the coronavirus so far, officials said on Thursday evening.
