OGDEN â As if concerns about getting COVID-19 arenât enough, some in Weber County and the rest of Utah have more to worry about â the threat of domestic violence.
As more people work and study from home and, generally, reduce their movements to guard against the spread of COVID-19, officials who assist domestic violence victims in Utah are reporting an increase in crisis calls.
Ogden-based YCC Family Crisis Center, for instance, reported 2,393 such calls in April, May and June, soon after the COVID-19 pandemic really started taking a toll. Thatâs a sharp jump from 891 for January, February and March and 613 for October, November and December 2019, and Margaret Rose, the YCC executive director, said the higher call count has continued.
