Similar other countries, pandemic has Algeria, with noticeable variation mortality infection rates between regions. We aimed estimate proportion people who died or became infected SARS-CoV-2 each provinces using a Bayesian approach. estimation parameters were determined binomial distribution along an priori distribution, results had high degree accuracy. model was applied during third wave (1 January-15 August 2021), all Algerian's provinces. For spatial analysis duration, geographical maps used. Our findings show that Tissemsilt, Ain Defla, Illizi, El Taref, Ghardaia (Mean = 0.001) are least affected terms mortality. also indicate Tizi Ouzou 0.0694), Boumerdes 0.0520), Annaba 0.0483), Tipaza 0.0524), Tebessa 0.0264) more susceptible infection, as they ranked level corona infections among 48 country.
