  • The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a serious threat to global public health, demanding urgent action and causing unprecedented worldwide change in a short space of time This disease has devastated economies, infringed on individual freedoms, and taken an unprecedented toll on healthcare systems worldwide As of 1 April 2020, over a million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 204 countries and territories, resulting in more than 51,000 deaths Yet, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, lies an older, insidious disease with a much greater mortality Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death by a single infectious agent and remains a potent threat to millions of people around the world We discuss the differences between the two pandemics at present, consider the potential impact of COVID-19 on TB case management, and explore the opportunities that the COVID-19 response presents for advancing TB prevention and control now and in future
