Kosovars towards the Albanian coast, doctors at the border are unable to control everyone for Coddy-19

Even August has started with a high influx at Morin's border checkpoint, while in July the daily average crossing of the border towards Albania, and vice versa exceeded more than 10,000. But August is expected to bring a bigger daily average because Kosovo Albanians' movements will be bigger. But this phenomenon is seen as a concern by Kosovo health authorities.

Fadil Kryeziu, regional director of Public Health in Prizren, says that Kosovo citizens who are moving during this period on two sides of the border are seen as the main carrier of COVID-19, both for Kosovo and Albania and medical teams at the border, have no chance to control all travelers, so a new opportunity to control the situation, which is rapidly increasing the number of infected.

We don't know. The most disturbing is the large number that go away, and they also carry it on the opposite side. We have a medical team that monitors 24 hours, especially cases that come, but it's technically impossible to dissiste cases where within a short period of six thousand people go. Therefore, it would be better to take other austerity measures, though not even to remove medical teams but to follow cases, from case to case, to check cases of infection” said Fadil Kryeziu.

July has just closed, for Kosovo, it marked the highest number of affected and victims from the Coronavirus. So do Albania. And despite this situation, Kosovo citizens have not restrained the holiday movement towards Albania. Even the first weekend of August has marked an extraordinary influx of entrances to Albania of Kosovo citizens with the Albanian coastline as a destination. It is learned that some 50,000 Kosovo vacationers have entered this weekend (sday).

Fluks has also had in the last two days of July that coincided with the Kurban Bajrami holiday. Based on Kosovo Police data, over 12,000 Kosovars have entered Albania in late July. We remember that on the border with Albania, the Kosovo Health Ministry revised the decision and excluded the two countries' citizens from austerity measures for border controls under the COVID-19 situation.
