Abstract

The aim is to describe possible forms of the course of COVID-19 and to be able to estimate the number of possible infected people in defined populations, since tests are currently not offered for everyone. The online questionnaire, which was developed on the basis of the WHO symptom descriptions, should be filled in by as many people as possible every day. The questionnaire can either be completed anonymously using an online survey or by registering the email address . It can also be used for self-reported surveys of the outcomes of hospitalized people. Validation by means of serological tests at a later point in time would be possible. A preliminary project has already been started in Vorarlberg.
