Yes. Police are still enforcing laws during the Covid-19 (“coronavirus”) lockdown, but they are focusing more on violent crimes, including domestic violence. Recent news reports demonstrate an increase in domestic violence calls to police throughout Connecticut. It is believed that people are under increased stress from conditions created by the coronavirus. Things like fear of the virus, job loss, and uncertainty about the future combined with stay-at-home orders increases stress, anxiety and depression which can lead to increased alcohol and drug use. These factors combined with stay-at-home orders have the potential to create conflict within the home which can lead to verbal and even physical fights. If one is arrested for domestic violence, the stress can increase even more because the court will likely put a protective order in place which means the arrested person may not be able to return to the home for many months.
