This study determines adherence to, and perceptions of, infection prevention and control measures when delivering SMC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A cross-sectional study design was adopted to determine adherence to infection prevention and control (IPC) measures during two seasonal malaria chemoprevention cycles in urban and rural areas of Sokoto and Kano states. Community distributors were directly observed by trained data collectors, who observed and recorded whether or not the community distributors received recommended equipment and adhered to IPC measures.
