The most obvious impact of the crisis on NTD programs relates to its effect on infection prevalence due to delayed mass drug administration campaigns. Shifts in human capital availability and transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 will require national NTD programs to adopt different implementation approaches to ensure availability and use of appropriate personnel, as well as preventive measures, including social distancing, safe hygiene practices, and face masks and/or coverings. This approach could better mitigate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, but community acceptance and costs would need to be carefully considered, as well as its potential impact on coverage.	./cache/cord-327799-ngzvdd8c.txt	./txt/cord-327799-ngzvdd8c.txt
