Does "reaching very low levels of burden" mean "making the burden (of these diseases) very small"?
=======================
Potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study
..............................
The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken in response to it, will have far-reaching consequences on other diseases, poverty, food security, and economic growth.1 In low-income and middle-income countries, a particular concern is the potential impact on three major health priorities, specifically, HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, due to a possible disruption to health services. Many low-income and middle-income countries have high burdens of these three diseases, and millions of people depend on large-scale programmes to control and treat them.2, 3, 4 In recent years, substantial progress has been made in reducing the burden of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, and ambitious targets have been set for reaching very low levels of burden by 2030, as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.5 Interruptions to control programmes could result in major setbacks, compounding the direct impact of COVID-19.
