It can be said that DV during the COVID-19 increased globally. There is little information on care-seeking patterns for sexual assault and DV during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trends in care-seeking and assault patterns are required, on-going monitoring to inform the provision of optimal support for individuals experiencing violence, particularly as countries begin to re-open or lock-down again. [Katherine A M et al 2021]. This cursory analysis illustrates that stay-at-home orders may create a worst-case scenario for individuals suffering from DV and demonstrates a need for further research. With the apparent rise in DV reports, there is a need for more current and standardized modalities of reporting actionable DV data. First responders, physicians, mental health professionals and other healthcare personal need to be made aware of the possible for increased DV during the COVID-19 pandemic so that individual can respond appropriately. Steps could also be taken on an administrative level to make IPV screening tools more readily available in clinical settings and media outlets should be utilized to raise awareness. Social media should also be influenced, while stay-at-home orders are in place to reach a wider audience and provide support. Overall, it is vital that health care providers, policy makers and administration do not lose sight of the increased potential for violence while fighting this global pandemic.[Brad B et al 2020].
