The portal "GazetaExpress.com" has published an article titled "Bill Gates: Cafes and restaurants may close by the end of 2022."
This article contains a false headline, as American billionaire Bill Gates says that restaurants and bars will remain closed until this wave of the Corona virus passes, but without specifying a specific time and date.
In fact, during an interview with CNN, Gates estimated that the world will not return to normal until 2022, but did not say that gastronomy businesses will be completely closed for another year (until 2022), as claimed in the title of the article published by GazetaExpress.com.

Bill Gates: Cafes and restaurants could close by the end of 2022
American billionaire Bill Gates believes that the return to normal life is further away than people expect, despite the fact that the COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for widespread use in the United States.
Although Gates himself admits that by the summer of 2021 we should be closer to returning to normal than we are now, he still believes that we do not expect a return to truly normal life before 2022.
"If we don't help other countries get rid of the disease and see large-scale vaccinations in the United States, the risks of a resurgence of the disease will remain possible," he told CNN.
Gates also believes that large public gatherings should also remain banned, as should most cafes and restaurants./abcnewës.al

Gates believes that the world will not fully return to normal before 2022. While he predicts that until this pandemic wave passes, public gatherings will be held while respecting protective measures, and for gastronomy, he says that they will stop operating, but without mentioning a specific deadline and not until 2022. Also, when he spoke about bars and restaurants, he had in mind those within the US, and moreover, he said that not all of them will be closed, but a majority of them. While the time context that Gates referred to for this closure was from the next 4 to 6 months.
Bill Gates' statement translated and adapted into Albanian:
"Bars and restaurants, in most countries, will close, if this trend continues. The decision for schools is more complicated, because the benefit is higher and the transmission of the virus is lower than in bars and restaurants. And this must be done because it is required that in the next 4 to 6 months, we are expected to do our best. In the summer there will be a much more normal situation than we have now. But even in early 2022, because many countries will not be vaccinated, the impact on the global economy… But I hope that within 18 months, if we manage it properly, we will be able to return completely to normality."
