Kosovo was part of BoCO-19 study group, led by Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, Germany. Gladly collaborating with a group of scientists, we co-authored the first publication of many more to come. Also, soon the country-specific results will be published.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an extensive impact on public health worldwide. However, in many countries burden of disease indicators for COVID-19 have not yet been calculated or used for monitoring. The present study protocol describes an approach developed in the project “The Burden of Disease due to COVID-19. Towards a harmonization of population health metrics for the surveillance of dynamic outbreaks” (BoCO-19). The process of data collection and aggregation across 14 different countries and sub-national regions in Southern and Eastern Europe and Central Asia is described, as well as the methodological approaches used.
