Sumario:To counter the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, each country must design sustainable control plans given the inherent disparities in wealth and healthcare systems. Most malaria-endemic countries run well-entrenched malaria control programs via their established frameworks for diagnosis, case management, treatment and overall surveillance. We propose that the malaria control infrastructures can be partially co-opted for launching sustainable COVID-19 mitigation plans.
