| Abstract | This monitoring study aimed to enable proactive interventions based on 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, Dir 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. In that regard, a repeated cross-sectional observation design is being conducted on weekly basis involving one weekday and one weekend. The population for the study includes all individuals visiting the selected eight sites for different reasons. Besides, participants of the study are individuals who are found at the selected hotspot sites at the time of assessment. Moreover, there were 10 randomly identified individuals per facility on each day of data collection. ODK (Open Data Kit) is used and a mobile application to collect data with GPS of the site of observation. Date deposited in a server is downloaded for merging and analysis using Excel and SPSS. |
