The number of malaria cases in 2020 was 14m higher than the previous year and led to 69,000 more deaths, the World Health Organization has said, highlighting the disruption to healthcare systems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
世界卫生组织表示，2020年疟疾确诊病例较前一年增加1400万，死亡病例增加6.9万，突显新冠疫情对医疗系统造成的破坏。
The global health body, in a report published on Monday, said there were an estimated 241m cases globally last year and 627,000 deaths. About two-thirds of the 69,000 additional deaths were linked to problems in the provision of malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment during the pandemic, it said.
这个全球卫生组织在周一发布的一份报告中表示，去年全球估计有2.41亿例疟疾病例，62.7万人死亡。报告称，在新增6.9万例死亡病例中，约三分之二与疫情期间疟疾预防、诊断和治疗方面的问题有关。
The findings of the report add to increasing evidence that a number of conditions — both infectious, such as tuberculosis, and non-infectious, such as cancer — have not received adequate attention during the pandemic because resources have been diverted to tackle coronavirus.
越来越多的证据表明，疫情期间，一些疾病——包括传染性疾病（如结核病）和非传染性疾病（如癌症）——没有得到足够的重视，因为资源被转移到了抗击新冠病毒方面。报告的发现进一步证明了这一点。
