There is a significant burden of long-COVID in Ethiopia and Uganda. However, no increased prevalence of malaria infection post SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed.
The impact of SARS-COV-2 and the long-term complications of the disease (known as long-COVID) on malaria infection is largely unknown. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of malaria and long-COVID among individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.
