Authors : Yahiaoui Nour El Houda . Kellouche Abdellah .

Abstract

More growing number of studies made the link clear between social vulnerability and the growing risk of exposure to COVID-19 contamination, developing serious forms of the disease and death. The purpose of this study is to search for health social determinants in Algeria by analysing how social vulnerability determined COVID-19 pandemic magnitude, mortality and case fatality rate. The study depends on analysing grey literature about health social determinants based on the themes, subthemes and indicators of The Africa Covid Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI): socioeconomic status; population density; housing type and transportation; epidemiological factors; health system factors; fragility and old age. The study found that social vulnerability determined COVID-19 pandemic magnitude in many Algerian wilayas. The inability to access adequate medical care because of fragile health systems, and transportation, being old or suffering chronic diseases made great number of populations in socially vulnerable situations and at an increased risk of health challenges during COVID-19 pandemic.
