Albania is suspending the reopening of schools after the New Year’s break because of frigid weather and concern about the spread of flu. A Health Ministry statement on Tuesday warned that subfreezing temperatures will cover the whole country for several days, “creating favorable conditions for the further spread of the (flu) virus.” It ordered nurseries, kindergartens, elementary and high schools, which were due to resume Wednesday, to remain closed this week. The ministry also warned people to avoid big gatherings, stay at home, and keep away from people with flu.
