Analyze:
The "Kosovapost.net" portal has published an article with a false claim that during the past 24 hours in Kosovo, three people have lost their lives as a result of infection with the Corona virus.
However, the announcement made by the Ministry of Health states that no person has lost their life in the last 24 hours as a result of Covid-19.
Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info assesses the article published by "Kosovapost.net" as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
