It summarizes relevant findings from the national infectious disease surveillance\u00a0system.<br \/><strong>MATERIAL AND METHODS.<\/strong> The data contained in this article come from the reports collected by the State\u00a0Sanitary Inspection on cases of notifiable infectious diseases notified by clinicians and\/or laboratories. These are\u00a0supplemented by mortality data published by the Statistics Poland.<br \/><strong>RESULTS AND THEIR DISCUSSION.<\/strong> The epidemiology of infectious diseases was highly impacted by the\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic. There were 1,306,983 cases notified in 2020 and 41,451 deaths attributed to COVID-19\u00a0(according to Statistics Poland). The reported incidence of other infections decreased by 10-98%. We noted\u00a0especially high decreases in the incidence of viral gastrointestinal infections (by over 70%). The incidence of\u00a0influenza and influenza-like infections decreased by 34% and tuberculosis by 36% as compared to 2019. However,\u00a0important decreases were also noted for other diseases under surveillance, which could point to disruption of\u00a0diagnosis services and reporting due to lockdowns and high workload on the public health services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STRESZCZENIE<\/strong><br \/><strong>CEL PRACY.<\/strong> W artykule dokonano przegl\u0105du g\u0142\u00f3wnych problem\u00f3w epidemiologii chor\u00f3b zaka\u017anych w Polsce\u00a0w 2020 roku.
