Spread of the corona virus in Algeria
Currently: 2.9 new infections per day per 100,000 inhabitantsBy July 26th, 2021, 162155 infected persons and 4063 deaths have been reported in the country. The first confirmed infections were reported in March 2020, which is the date of the official notification. An additional 10-14 days are calculated for noticing one's own infection, the doctor's appointment, the laboratory test and, above all, the period from the infection until the first symptoms appear.
The total of 162,155 infected people represent 0.37% of the country's total population. The number of new infections during the 29th calendar week (07/19/2021 to 07/25/2021) was 8,846 , representing 2.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per day.

Mortality rate of infected persons
From the previously infected and deceased people, in Algeria results in a mortality rate of 2.5%. However, it should be borne in mind that death occurs an average of 19 days after the first symptoms appear. The time of the actual infection is therefore followed by several days until a person affected has a medical test carried out and the results are available. In order to quantify mortality more precisely, one would therefore have to compare the deaths that have occurred to date with those reported 153,309 infected up to 14 days ago. This gives in Algeria a new mortality rate of 2.5%.Due to the current corona pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers weekly. A list of all infected and dead people by country can be found on our Corona virus topic page.

Medical supplies
Medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in Algeria is below average compared to the world population. The country provides 1.9 hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. The global mean here is 2.7 beds. Within the EU, 5.6 beds are available for every 1,000 residents. With about 80,200 physicians in Algeria, there are about 1.83 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1000 inhabitants and in the EU even 3.57.
Due to the low level of care, the mortality of major known diseases can only be reduced in comparatively few cases. According to current information, about 14 percent of all people who suffer from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chylomicron retention disease (CRD) still die.
