The first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) interim guidance released by the World Health Organization recommended suspension of non-urgent community health interventions, including mass drug administration (MDA) for neglected tropical diseases. However, with no end in sight for the COVID-19 pandemic, it was crucial to find ways to restart MDA while testing measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission between health workers, volunteers and communities. Consequently, guidelines were developed for delivering MDA safely in a COVID-19 context and the training and implementation were assessed through an observation checklist. The study also gathered data on the feasibility of using the MDA platform to disseminate COVID-19 health education. The results suggest that delivering MDA safely in a COVID-19 context is possible but revealed significant challenges in using the MDA platform for COVID-19 education.
世界卫生组织发布的首份 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）临时指南建议暂停非紧急社区卫生干预措施，包括大规模药物治疗（MDA）用于治疗被忽视的热带病。然而，鉴于 COVID-19 大流行仍未见结束，找到在控制 COVID-19 传播风险的同时重启 MDA 的方法至关重要，这些措施涉及卫生工作者、志愿者和社区之间的风险。因此，制定了在 COVID-19 环境下安全开展 MDA 的指南，并通过观察检查表评估了培训和实施情况。该研究还收集了关于利用 MDA 平台传播 COVID-19 健康教育的可行性数据。结果表明，在 COVID-19 环境下安全开展 MDA 是可行的，但利用 MDA 平台进行 COVID-19 教育存在重大挑战。
