The article titled "BREAKING NEWS: Weekend with Curfew from 17:00 to 05:00?" was published by the dubious portal "gazeta-aktive.info".
This article contains a changed title, and the photo does not correspond to the text in the content.
Also, part of the text has been removed from the original news item, removing the main emphasis of the news item which, in fact, indicates that it is about the state of North Macedonia.
The dubious portal "gazeta-aktive.info" has linked most of its articles to Kosovo, where its main audience comes from.
With this changed title, it is implied that it is about the state of Kosovo, as an official from the Kosovo Police is also seen in the photograph.
Text of the article published on "gazeta-aktive.info":
BREAKING NEWS: Weekend with curfew from 17:00 to 05:00?
This weekend, curfew is expected to start at 17:00 PM and last until 05:00 AM.
This was stated by a member of the Infectious Diseases Commission to Faktor as one of the measures planned to deal with the increase in the number of cases of covid-19. At the moment, the option of total closure during the two days of the weekend is not in play. The Ministry of Health confirms that it is possible that a weekend will follow in which there will be more restrictive measures for protection, but that there has not been such a decision yet. Whether there will be one will depend on the number of sick and hospitalized people during the days until Friday.
