News that falsely claims about changes to the restrictive measures on the movement of citizens by responsible institutions in Kosovo, are being published and distributed in large numbers during the recent period by dubious portals.
Even today, the dubious portal "gjithckafresh.info" has published an article claiming that starting Monday, the curfew in Kosovo will be lifted, and that gastronomy will be allowed to operate until 22:00 PM.
This article contains a fabricated title and content, as after verification and research through search engines, hibrid.info has not found any such news published in credible media. Also, there is no announcement from either the Ministry of Health or the Institute of Public Health, as relevant institutions, that the current measures will be removed.
Text of the article published on "gjithckafresh.info":
