Malawi

PingER monitors three hosts in Malawi. They are the Parliament of Malawi (www.parliament.gov.mw), the Kamuza College of Nursing at theQueen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre (www.kcn.unima.mw)  and the University of Malawi - Malawi Polytechnic (www.poly.ac.mw) in Blantyre.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Malawi the main interventions that might be expected to impact network utilization were:

  • both public and private education institutions were closed from 23 March
  • On 14 April, President Mutharika announced a 21-day lockdown starting Saturday 18 April at midnight.[17] However, on 17 April, the Malawi High Court temporarily barred the government from implementing the 21-day lockdown following a petition by the Human Rights Defenders Coalition

It is hard to discover any impact on the PingER IPDV performance from these measures.

Tanzania

PingER Monitors 4 hosts in Tanzania. Three are universities: the Open University of Tanzania, the Sokoine University of Agriculture  (www.suanet.ac.tz), the State University of Zanzibar (www.suza.ac.tz). The other is related to education: the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (www.costech.or.tz). Of these only www.suza.ac.tz appears to notice any substantial change in responsiveness. In particular, there are big dips at weekends. Also the peaks before Mar 21 are larger than those after.

  • On 17 March, the Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa announced a range of measures, including closing schools. This corresponds nicely with the drop to near zero starting on Mar 18.
