WARSAW (Reuters) - Vending machines selling face masks, gloves and sanitizers appeared on the streets of Poland's two biggest cities this week, as the country stepped up social distancing rules to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.

So far two vending machines have been installed in Warsaw and five in Krakow and there are plans to install several dozen or maybe even several hundred more in the next two weeks, according to the Polish Vending Association, which launched the initiative.
