Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria intervention coverage

Substantial progress has been made in reducing the burden of malaria in Africa since 2000, but those gains were jeopardised by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate plausible effects on malaria incidence and mortality under different levels of disruption to key malaria control interventions.
