PingER monitors 3 hosts in Paraguay: a commercial host salomoni.com.py, a commercial host at www.cultura.gov.py and the Universidad Nacional de Asuncion. All are in the capital Asuncion. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Paraguay, on 10 March 2020, the Paraguayan government suspended classes and all activities that involve groups of people, as well as public and private events. On Mar 15 the government announced a nighttime curfew was announced. On Mar 20 the first death and the first case of community transmission were confirmed and the government declared a total quarantine and public movement is restricted to buying food, medicine and other essential items. In the IPDV chart below there are increases in the daily IPDV for both salomoni.co.py and www.cnc.una.py around 3/16/2020. Again around Mar 20 salomoni.com./py increases and this time persists through the following month. The drop in IPDV for www.cultura.gov.py does not appear to be related to the above interventions. The spreadsheet is here.

Peru

During this period PingER monitored 4 hosts in Peru. Three are universities: the  Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco (www.unsaac.edu.pe), the Universidad del Pacifico (www.up.edu.pe) in Lima, the Graduate School of the Universidad del Pacifico (espg.up.edu.pe) in Arequipa, and the Army Information Portal (www.ejercito.mil.pe) in Lima.   The Universidad del Pacifico stopped responding Feb 20 and the Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco stopped responding Mar 23. Apart from two large spikes www.unsaac.edu.pe is almost flat.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Peru we see: on 15 March, President Martín Vizcarra made a national announcement, declaring a 15-day quarantine effective from 16 March. On 17 March, the second full day of quarantine, citizens were required to fill out an online form in order to obtain permission to leave home. On 18 March, the government tightened the measures of quarantine, implementing a curfew from 8 PM-5 AM where citizens are not allowed to leave their homes. On 2 April, the President made a live announcement to the country that for the remaining 10 days of quarantine, they would add one more restriction in order to flatten the curve. Mobilization outside of the house will be limited by days. Only men will be able to leave the house to buy groceries, medicines, or go to the bank on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.[27] Only women are allowed outside on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. No one is allowed on Sunday. These restrictions are to allow easy identification by police and military (rather than others that require more precise identification, such as even and odd numbers of each person's DNI number), and to reduce circulation by 50%.[28] Wearing of masks in public was officially declared compulsory, although it was a rule enforced by police and military for a few weeks up to this announcement

 Looking at the chart below we see that following the quarantine effective 16 Mar the IPDV for www.ejercito.mil.pe is reduced by over a factor of 2 and stays that way until at least the middle of April.
