The article titled "New measures against Covid, here are the categories that are not allowed to work without a vaccination certificate from today", was published by the portal "arbresh.info".
After fact-checking conducted by Hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title of this article is a generalization that leaves room for misinformation, as it does not make clear in which country these measures were taken.
Upon entering the article, it is understood that the new anti-Covid measures actually relate to Albania.
Knowing that the "arbresh.info" portal is registered in Kosovo and that the vast majority of its readers are Kosovars, the article with a generalizing, rather than clarifying, title may misinform readers, implying that these new measures are related to Kosovo.

Today, new measures imposed in the context of the pandemic and the risk from the Omicron variant will come into force in Albania.
At its last meeting, the Technical Committee announced that from January 4, employees of public administration, shopping centers and supermarkets will have to submit a vaccination certificate to report to work.
In the absence of a certificate, those who do not want to be vaccinated will have to take a PCR test every 5 days.
