As of March 1, 2023, the total number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Algeria reached 271,448. Overall, the growth in the number of cases slowed down considerably from March 2022, also thanks to successful vaccination efforts in the country.
The pandemic in Algeria
The first case of COVID-19 in Algeria was confirmed in February 2020, when a man coming from Italy tested positive for the virus. Afterward, the virus spread rapidly in the country, causing the first deaths in March 2020. Overall, Algeria recorded a total of around 7,000 deaths, one of the highest mortality registered in Africa. Similar to the rest of the world, the Algerian government adopted measures to prevent the spread of the virus. These included partial and total lockdown, the closure of gyms, recreational areas, and beaches.
Vaccination campaign
Algeria officially started the vaccination campaign at the end of January 2021. After a slow start, the total number of vaccine doses administered began to grow considerably. Despite the acceleration of the campaign, the vaccination rate remained below the African average. The country obtained COVID-19 vaccines from different sources, namely from bilateral agreements as well as through the United Nations-led COVAX, an initiative aiming at delivering vaccines against COVID-19 to all countries worldwide.
