Abstract: This article explores different time series of CoViD-19 data by examining daily confirmed and death reports from January 22, 2020 to October 1st, 2022 in north Africa. We then use the Prophet model to provide the expected total number of infections from October 2nd, 2022 to December 30, 2022 by furnishing graphs and giving the total number of infected cases from December 26 to December 30, 2022 enclosed in tables for each country in the region.
