Albania Reports 69 New COVID-19 Cases

TIRANA, June 15
As of Monday, public health officials reported 69 newly confirmed cases of the COVID-19, bringing the country’s total to 1,590.
Public health experts link the spike in the new daily coronavirus cases in Albania to failure to comply with the rules and reduced vigilance. However, authorities say that the situation does not compare to the peak period, because almost 97 percent of activities are operational.
Given that some new cases have been reported in businesses and enterprises, health authorities call on business units to comply with the safety protocols.
