There appears to be a sustained increase in IPDV in Ethiopia around Mar 16 when schools were closed and public gatherings were suspended. Looking in more detail at the 3 hosts monitored in Ethiopia there are 2 government hosts and a university. Below we see that all hosts had a sudden rice rise in IPDV between Mar 12 and Mar 15. See below and the Excel spreadsheet.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Ethiopia#March_2020 the first Covid-9 case in Ethiopia was on Mar 13. "On 16 March 2020, the office of the Prime Minister announced that schools, sporting events, and public gatherings shall be suspended for 15 days."
Kenya
There are 3 host hosts being monitored by PingER in Kenya. Two are government hosts and one (www.daystar.ac.ke) is Daystar University in Kampala. Looking at the chart of IPDV below it appears that IPDV dropped by several 10s of a percent sometime between Mar 21 and Mar 28. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Kenya we see: On 15 March 2020, President Uhuru Kenyatta directed that the following measures to curb COVID-19 be implemented:
...
- "All schools and higher learning institutions be closed by Friday March 20, 2020.
- "Government and businesses people start working from home; except essential services.
- "No congressional meetings – weddings, malls, night clubs, churches, limitation of visits to hospitals.
- The Health Minister Mutahi Kagwe banned all social gatherings including religious gatherings on the same date.
- All bars were to remain closed from 22 March, with restaurants allowed to remain open for takeaway services only.
Looking at the averages, standard deviations, (standard deviation/averages) plus the derivatives of the averages, standard and (standard deviation/Average) for 30 days before and after each date, we get the chart below. It is seen that within about a week of the interventions the derivatives, in particular, took a sharp rise for all 3 hosts.
Malawi
