    Mriya’s expected visit to Poland generated an uproar among aviation fans. The Warsaw airport had to issue a statement urging Poles to refrain from coming to see the aircraft in person to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Yeah, people supposedly were a tad insane and some gathered in adjacent carparks. Dunno why they wanted to wait around the airport, though. Between superb visibility and how it circled over a huge area before landing, you'd need to be on the opposite side of Warsaw to not catch a good look of it.
