Impact of COVID-19 lockdown policy on homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle deaths in Peru

Renzo J. C. Calderon-Anyosa et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on violent and accidental deaths in Peru was investigated, revealing a significant decrease in all forms of deaths examined. Traffic accident-related deaths saw the largest reduction, while homicides and suicides showed similar declines by gender, with a higher increase rate in male homicides. This suggests that mobility restrictions had a natural impact on traffic accidents, but the patterns and changes in homicides and suicides warrant further study.
