"Despite illness and being away from home, I have been following closely what's going on in the country," he said.
"I have ordered the Presidency to discuss with the law expert commission, in a bid to draw up a new election law as soon as possible to carry on the post-constitution process," the President added.
On October 27, Tebboune was admitted in a specialized treatment unit at the Central Army Hospital in the capital Algiers, before being rushed to Germany a day later for "in-depth medical examinations" upon recommendation of his medical staff.
Tebboune started self-imposed isolation on October 24 after he had come into contact with some senior officials who showed symptoms of Covid-19.
Algeria has so far reported 91,638 confirmed coronavirus cases and 2,584 deaths.
