The dubious portal "postlajme.net" has published an article titled "EXCLUSIVE / Decision Made to Close the Site, Will Be Announced on Monday...".
After checking the facts by hibrid.info, it turns out that the news in the content of this article is about the state of Italy. However, the same thing is not clarified through the title and the photo. The title and the photo, since they are generalizing and not clarifying, have created a belief among readers that the news is about Kosovo, considering that this dubious portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are from Kosovo.
Text of the article published on "postlajme.net":
Italy has decided to extend its lockdown until May.
From Monday more than half of the country will be in the red zone, with Calabria, Tuscany and Valle d'Aosta joining the 7 regions and the autonomous province of Trento in which the most severe restrictions are in force, while Lazio is back in orange. With 24 new cases and 450 deaths in one day, the government confirms the maximum severity even after Easter. But in the entire red zone, classes will continue up to the sixth grade, while in the orange ones all students up to the eighth grade and 50% of high school students will be in class.

Analyze:
The dubious portal "postlajme.net" used a news story that described the decision of the Italian authorities to close as a result of the increase in the number of infected people, while neither the title nor the photo indicated which country it was referring to.
Since this dubious portal is in Albanian and has Albanian-speaking readers, this title placed on the article could create the impression that the new measures are related to our country.
This text was also shared on the Facebook page “33shi.com”, which has over 45 thousand followers. This sharing has prompted a reaction from readers, which is also noticeable through comments and other reactions, who have created the impression that the article presents a news story that responds to the circumstances of Kosovo. After fact-checking analysis, hibrid.info assesses this article as “misinformation”.
