Ethiopia
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 in IPDV between Mar 12 and Mar 15. See below and the Excel spreadsheet.

On 26 March, police and other security personnel were heavily deployed in all city suburbs, slums and along the streets to enforce the president's directives. A few people who breached the government's restrictions were arrested. On 30 March, the President declared a nationwide curfew from 7 pm to 6:30 am, which would run for 14 days to prevent the spread of the disease.
These interventions appear to correlate with the rise in IPDV at the Victoria University.
