The number of new virus cases rose by 270 from the previous day, while the death toll increased by 18, according to the health ministry.
On Monday, 260 new infections were confirmed and 13 people died. On Sunday, 318 new infections were confirmed and 24 people died, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
The first infection was confirmed by Polish authorities on March 4, while the country's first coronavirus fatality was announced on March 12.
Poland has declared a "state of epidemic" and temporarily closed its borders to non-residents in a move to curb the spread of the illness.
Public gatherings of more than two people have been banned. Health and government officials have urged Poles to stay home and practice social distancing.
An initial two-week closure of the country’s schools has been extended until April 26.
Poland’s prime minister last Thursday said that a swathe of restrictions on daily life were being extended as the country battles the outbreak.
The government at the end of last month announced tough new restrictions on daily life, banning children under 18 from leaving home unless supervised by an adult, closing parks and beaches, and ordering most hotels to shut.
