ALGIERS, Algeria: Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune was transferred to Germany for specialist medical treatment Wednesday, a day after his country’s presidency announced he had been hospitalized but not revealed why.
Several senior officials in the 75-year-old presidents entourage developed COVID-19 symptoms on Saturday, and the president was placed in what the government called voluntary preventive confinement. It was clear if Tebboune’s current hospitalization was connected.
The transfer to Germany was made at the request of the presidency staff, according to a press release from the presidency broadcast on national television Wednesday.
The statement announcing the Algerian leader’s hospitalization on Tuesday said his condition was stable. It did not reveal the cause of his illness or say when the hospitalization occurred.
The statement said that while Tebboune was admitted to a specialized care unit in Algiers on the recommendation of his doctors, the state of health of the president of the republic…does not inspire any concern.
