COVID-19对世界人口和经济产生了巨大影响。截至2020年9月9日，该病毒已感染全球216个国家和地区的2700多万人，死亡人数接近100万。1尽管COVID-19在非洲的传播速度缓慢，其对非洲的直接影响低于其他大陆的水平，但COVID-19对抗击疟疾等其他疾病的战略和方法的潜在影响（疟疾对世界和非洲相当大一部分人口，特别是儿童造成了重大负担）令人深感担忧。因此，了解COVID-19大流行如何间接影响疟疾控制干预战略在所有疟疾流行地区，特别是那些属于世卫组织“高负担到高影响”倡议的地区是紧迫的。2
COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the populations and economies of the world. As of Sept 9, 2020, the virus has infected more than 27 million people in 216 countries and territories worldwide, and the number of deaths is approaching a million. 1 Although the spread of COVID-19 to Africa has been slow and its direct impact in Africa is below the level seen in other continents, the potential effects of COVID-19 on strategies and methods to combat other diseases such as malaria—which pose significant burdens on substantial proportions of the world and the African population, and especially children—are a cause for great concern. Thus, understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic could indirectly affect malaria control intervention strategies is urgent in all malaria-endemic regions, and especially those that are part of WHO’s “high burden to high impact” initiative. 2
