In February, Fjona Çela, journalist of Fax News was prevented from interviewing medical and public staff by the media spokesperson of the Ministry of Health Etiola Kola.

She added that Kola had refused requests for information and stopped her from conducting interviews about the spread of COVID-19. On another occasion, as Çela pressed Deputy Minister of Health Mira Rakacolli, for answers, Kola told her she would ban her from attending press conferences in the future.
