Algerian president hospitalised with virus has ‘finished treatment’
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, hospitalised in Germany since late last month after contracting the novel coronavirus, has finished treatment and is undergoing tests, the Algerian presidency said Sunday.
Tebboune, who is 74 and a heavy smoker, has been treated in a specialised hospital in Germany since October 28.
He was transferred there from a hospital in the Algerian capital shortly after going into self-isolation following reports of novel coronavirus cases among his aides.
