| Abstract | This Monitoring study was conducted to enable proactive interventions on the basis of the practices observed by individuals who could be exposed to the transmission of COVID-19 across 15 different cities. The study involves weekly monitoring of individual behaviors towards the preventive practice of COVID-19 in 15 major cities of Ethiopia. The cities are Addis Ababa, Adama, Jimma, Bahir-Dar, Gondar, Hawassa, Wolaita Sodo, Hosaena, Mekelle, Dire Dawa, Harar, Jigjiga, Gambella, Assosa, and Semera. Eight service sectors (hot-spot sites for mobility) are selected based on the level of crowding that implies the presence of high risk for the transmission of COVID-19. A repeated cross-sectional observation design is being conducted on weekly basis involving one-week day and one weekend. The population of the study includes all individuals visiting the selected eight sites for different reasons. Study participants are individuals who are found at the selected hotspot sites at the time of assessment. There will be 10 randomly identified individuals per facility on each day of data collection. ODK (Open Data Kit) is used as a mobile application to collect data with GPS of the site of observation. The data deposited in a server is downloaded for merging and analysis using Excel and SPSS. The city-level proportion of preventive behaviors for hand hygiene, physical distancing, and respiratory hygiene was <10%, 20%, and 40%, respectively. This is not different from those of weeks 1-16. |
