On Wednesday, the Algerian President was transferred to Germany for undergoing specialist medical examinations, a day after he had been hospitalized, according to the Presidency’s statement.
The statement added that the transfer to Germany was made at the request of the presidency staff.
On October 24th, the president entered a self-quarantine for five days after contacting many officials working in the Presidency Headquarters who have symptoms of the novel coronavirus.
