“The president of the republic assures the Algerian people about his health, that he is on the way to recovery and will be returning home in the coming days,” the statement said.
The Algerian president was flown to Germany for treatment in hospital on 28 October after he had tested positive for coronavirus.
There has very little that has been revealed to the public about his condition which fuelled speculation and concern among Algerians on social media about their “missing” president.
The last communication from his office was in mid November, when it said “the president had completed the Covid-19 treatment protocol” without indicating the date of his return home.
