Algerian authorities on Tuesday announced the country’s first case of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The patient is identified as an Italian citizen who arrived in the country on February 17.

“One case was confirmed positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), out of two suspected cases (both) of Italian nationality,” the North African country’s health ministry is quoted by media reports.

The infected person is said to have been quarantined.

The health ministry assured that it had reinforced its monitoring and surveillance systems at all points of entry into the country.
