The "Kosovapost.net" portal yesterday, January 10, published the 24-hour report of the National Institute of Public Health (IKSHPK), entitled "Drastic decline in COVID cases in Kosovo in the last 24 hours."
Hibrid.info has verified the facts in this article, which has confirmed that the title is biased, as there is currently no drastic decrease in the number of people infected with Covid-19 in Kosovo.
In its report dated January 10, the National Institute of Public Health announced that 236 people have tested positive for Covid-19, while the day before (January 9) 304 new cases were recorded. Therefore, this decrease cannot be called drastic, as claimed in the title.
