More negative picture of the coronavirus outbreak was noticed this Sunday in Albania as the country logged 33 fresh cases and 2 deaths in the last 24 hours. These figures are higher than the day before, when 23 new cases and 1 loss of life was seen in 24 hours.

According to the Ministry of Health, 131 citizens have been cured in the last 24 hours, bringing the number of recoveries to 128,732 since the beginning of the epidemic. Meanwhile, this number is lower than Saturday, when 176 citizens no longer had to fight with the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Unfortunately, 1 citizen from Korça, 1 citizen from Shkodra, aged 56-80 years old passed away due to the impact of the virus on their health. To make things worse, this number is higher than a day ago, when only a 77 year old citizen from Berat died due to the disease.
