Although malaria (an old scourge) and COVID-19 (a newly emergent disease) may compete for public health attention, we feel that the best facets of current COVID-19 management provide lessons that may enable faster control and elimination of malaria.	./cache/cord-291862-8c48m5hf.txt	./txt/cord-291862-8c48m5hf.txt
