The global COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the maintenance of various disease control programmes, including malaria. In some malaria-endemic countries, funding and personnel reallocations were executed from malaria control programmes to support COVID-19 response efforts, resulting mainly in interruptions of disease control activities and reduced capabilities of health system. While it is principal to drive national budget rearrangements during the pandemic, the long-standing malaria control programmes should not be left behind in order to sustain the achievements from the previous years. With different levels of intensity, many countries have been struggling to improve the health system resilience and to mitigate the unavoidable stagnation of malaria control programmes. Current opinion emphasized the impacts of budget reprioritization on malaria-related resources during COVID-19 pandemic in malaria endemic countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, and feasible attempts that can be taken to lessen these impacts.
全球 COVID-19 大流行一直影响着各种疾病控制规划的维持，包括疟疾。在一些疟疾流行的国家，资金和人员的重新配置从疟疾控制规划转移到支持 COVID-19 应对工作，主要导致疾病控制活动中断和卫生系统能力下降。虽然在大流行期间推动国家预算重新安排是主要的，但为了维持前几年的成果，不应忽视长期存在的疟疾控制规划。许多国家都在努力提高卫生系统的弹性，并减轻 COVID-19 大流行对疟疾控制规划不可避免的停滞的影响，其努力程度各不相同。目前的观点强调了预算重新优先化对非洲和东南亚疟疾流行国家 COVID-19 大流行期间与疟疾相关资源的影响，以及可以采取的减轻这些影响的可行尝试。
