The incidence of injuries attributed to domestic partner violence rose sharply after the coronavirus outbreak began, and those injuries were more serious.
The more people see wearing face masks and practicing social distancing as ways to protect the health of others, the more likely they are to comply, research shows.

The peak of COVID-19 cases came in late April, and by the study’s end on May 3, a low level of activity across the region was beginning to resume.
