马拉维于二零二零年三月二十日宣布因COVID-19大流行而进入国家灾难状态，并于二零二零年四月二日登记首个冠状病毒确诊病例。本文件旨在记录二零二零年一月至八月期间因应COVID-19疫情而作出的政策决定。我们审查了马拉维公共卫生研究所、马拉维公报、马拉维卫生和人口部以及牛津大学冠状病毒政府应对跟踪系统的政策文件。我们发现，马拉维对COVID-19大流行的应对是多部门的，并通过15个被称为集群的重点工作组实施。每个专题组负责在各自的重点领域提供政策指导。然后，所有的集群都进入一个中央委员会，进行重大决策，并向国家元首报告。审查期间确定的主要政策包括国际旅行禁令、各级学校关闭、取消公共活动、减少工作场所和公共交通工具的拥挤、强制性面部覆盖物和覆盖有症状人群的检测政策。支持性干预措施包括以多种语言和各种媒介进行风险沟通和社区参与，努力改善城市和农村贫困家庭获得水、卫生设施、营养和无条件社会现金转移的机会。
Malawi declared a state of national disaster due to the COVID-19 pandemic on 20th March 2020 and registered its first confirmed coronavirus case on the 2 April 2020. The aim of this paper was to document policy decisions made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic from January to August 2020. We reviewed policy documents from the Public Health Institute of Malawi, the Malawi Gazette, the Malawi Ministry of Health and Population and the University of Oxford Coronavirus Government Response Tracker. We found that the Malawi response to the COVID-19 pandemic was multisectoral and implemented through 15 focused working groups termed clusters. Each cluster was charged with providing policy direction in their own area of focus. All clusters then fed into one central committee for major decisions and reporting to head of state. Key policies identified during the review include international travel ban, school closures at all levels, cancellation of public events, decongesting workplaces and public transport, and mandatory face coverings and a testing policy covering symptomatic people. Supportive interventions included risk communication and community engagement in multiple languages and over a variety of mediums, efforts to improve access to water, sanitation, nutrition and unconditional social-cash transfers for poor urban and rural households.
