Furthermore, the Minister of Health and Social Protection in order to protect the health of the population by the infection caused by COVID-19 approved some other measures.

On 15.03.2020 the Council of Minister approved normative Act No.3 “On taking special administrative measures during the period of infection caused by COVID-19”. Furthermore, on 24 March 2020 the Council of Ministers of Republic of Albania decided state of natural disaster in order to ensure the containment of the spread of COVID-19 virus on the entire territory of Albania.

Therefore, the Permanent Representation kindly asks that this Note Verbale be considered as notification for the purposes of Article 15 paragraph 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
