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 results suggest that “victims may be so fearful of COVID-19 that they aren’t reaching us until the abuse is severe,” said, a radiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital who teaches at Harvard Medical School. The study period encompassed an intense period of COVID-19-related restrictions for the Boston area. Schools closed March 12, and by March 24, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker had called for an emergency lockdown barring all but essential activities. 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.
