COVID-19 pandemic during the war in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia: a sequential mixed-methods approach

While the region initially managed to delay the onset of COVID-19 and maintain lower positivity and fatality rates, the war in Tigray led to severe disruption and the eventual collapse of the health system. As a result, the disease was largely neglected and deprioritized, even after the signing of the cessation of hostilities agreement.

Abstract

While the region initially managed to delay the onset of COVID-19 and maintain lower positivity and fatality rates, the war in Tigray led to severe disruption and the eventual collapse of the health system. As a result, the disease was largely neglected and deprioritized, even after the signing of the cessation of hostilities agreement.
