Correlation between New Daily COVID-19 Cases, New Daily Deaths and Google Trends for Masks in Algeria

The absence of effective drugs and vaccines against COVID-19 lead Algerian population to give more importance to hand hygiene and masks for reducing the transmission of COVID-19. These interventions were recommended by Algerian health authorities for fighting COVID-19 outbreak. Algerian population used internet as a source of knowledge. We used google trends relative searches volumes (RSV) of terms like “ masques de protection” translated by masks from March 1st to March 31, 2020. We search the correlation between the daily new COVID-19 cases, daily new death and the google RSV trends concerning “masques” from March 1st to march 31, 2020.
