Abstract

Abstract:

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)(named by WHO in 2020-02-11) has brought heavy disease burden and huge economic loss to almost all countries in the world. COVID-19 also has a huge impact on global public health. We analyzed the impact of COVID-19 epidemic on tuberculosis prevention and control in China, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions for tuberculosis case detection, treatment and management, as well as improvement of tuberculosis control network during normalized prevention and control for the pandemic of COVID-19 in future.
