Adapting seasonal malaria chemoprevention in the context of COVID-19: operational guidance

This document provides operational guidance for countries to safely implement seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), considering the importance of lowering malaria-related morbidity and mortality, as well as ensuring the safety of communities and health workers. The adaptations are suggested for SMC implementation in areas where COVID-19 transmission is reported or national health authorities think there is a high risk of community transmission. All planning and SMC activities should be aligned with governments’ COVID-19 response and national strategic decisions to preserve essential health services and to deliver life-saving community outreach interventions.
