Venezuela
PingER monitors 7 hosts in Venezuela. These are: the Banco National Credito (www.bnc.com.ve) in Caracas; www.inter.com.ve a commercial site in Maracan; www.inces.gob.ve a government site in Tucupita; the Banco Central de Venezuela (www.bcv.org.ve) in Caracas; the Asociacion Nacional de Cultivadores Agricolas (www.anca.org.ve) in Araure, the Ministerio del poder popular para Educacion universiteria ciencia i tecnologia in Acarigua (www.iutep.tec.ve); and the Simon Bolivar University in Caracas (www.usb.ve) in Caracas.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Venezuela stay at home orders were announced on 15 March and introduced the next day across six states and the Caracas area. All classes would be suspended at public and private schools from Monday 16 March. March 16 Madiro extended the quarantine to the entire country and went into lockdown on 17 March. The first confirmed death from the disease was announced on 26 March.
Comparing the interventions with the PingER IPDV measurements below we see:
- starting Mar 18 a decrease in the midweek IPDV of a factor of 2-3 for www.iutep.tec.ve following the Mar 140-15 interventions
- no impact on the government host www.inces.gob.ve
- a big decrease in the IPDV for www.anca.org.ve in the 2 weeks following the Mar 14-15 interventions
- there is a big increase in the IPDV for www.anca.org.ve starting Mar 30 and lasting until Apr 22, that is NOT correlated with the interventions above.
- www.bnc.com.ve and www.inces.gob.ve track one another fairly closely. Starting Mar 14 the differences in the Monday-Friday IPDVs compared to the weekend IPDVs are much reduced, possibly due to interventions making the behaviors more uniform.
