Ethiopia – COVID19 and the internet interruption

I wanted to update all our followers on what has been happening in Ethiopia over the last few weeks, and reassure people that we are still here after the internet was switched off.

The internet shutdown began on Tuesday 30th June, following the killing of a prominent singer with strong political views, a wave of protests swept through Addis Ababa and the country leading to the arrests of certain political activists and leaders who have been putting forward ideas of ethnic violence. This is also linked to the approach of the election that had been planned for September but which was postponed due to the COVID19 virus. For more in formation look at reliable news sources, but do not trust information put out on social media websites. We are only now getting internet back and apologise to our customers and those who have been in touch for the delays in responding.

We were of course already reeling from the effect of COVID19 in Ethiopia, and have been fearing the worst for our country. However to date Ethiopia has been one country that has not been too seriously effected by the virus – at least in medical terms. The government has put in place a range of measures to limit the spread of the virus so that masks are required in public, transport operates with only limited numbers of passengers, offices are only working partially and with staggered times to avoid ‘rush hours’ etc.

Currently the country has performed close to 300,000 tests, with under 8,000 positive cases tested, of which just over 3,000 are still active cases, 127 died, and a little over 4,500 recovered. New daily cases are averaging around 200 a day, with a very few in critical condition (around 30) and an average of around 1-2 deaths each day (a number of which are tests performed on people who died in hospital not in the CV19 treatment centres).  The main rainy season started about a month ago, and the rains have become persistent in Addis Ababa over the last few weeks, resulting in people in cramped accommodation staying indoors more, and temperatures being much lower. This must make the spread of the virus more likely, but so far the numbers are manageable. We all hope it stays this way through August and September and when the drier weather comes in mid September and more so in October, that the virus ceases to be a danger.
