Three health facilities presented statistically significant declines in visits during the lockdown: HIV units (−44.8% [−56.7, −23.6]), hospitals (−40.4% [−52.8, −18.1]), and emergency departments (−36.9% [−47.0, −21.9]); thereafter, the visits have begun to increase steadily but not to previous levels as of December 2020. In contrast, primary care visits remained unchanged during the lockdown by 1.9% (95% CI: −13.5, 23.9).
