AB  - We developed a COVID-19 pandemic severity assessment (PSA) monitoring system in 
      Ireland, in order to inform and improve public health preparedness, response and 
      recovery. The system based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic 
      Influenza Severity Assessment (PISA) project included a panel of surveillance 
      parameters for the following indicators: transmissibility, impact and disease 
      severity. Age-specific thresholds were established for each parameter and data 
      visualised using heat maps. The findings from the first pandemic wave in Ireland 
      have shown that the WHO PISA system can be adapted for COVID-19, providing a 
      standardised tool for early warning and monitoring pandemic severity.
