Ministry of Health ordered the closure of all the nurseries, kindergartens and schools all over Albania to ward off a potential flu outbreak. 

Minister, Ilir Beqaj signed an order which forces all the kindergartens and schools to remain closed from January 3 to January 7.

This order comes due to the higher number of citizens that visited the health centers these days, while the country is experiencing temperatures decrease which support virus spreading.

This situation forced the Ministry of Health to take this preventive measure aiming to avoid further spreading of this virus.
