Between March and September 2020, an observational chart review study of COVID-19 confirmed cases was conducted using medical records. Data were obtained from District Health Information Software Records (DHIS2), which, like many other countries, is used by the Palestinian MoH to speed case recognition, situation reporting, active surveillance, and response to COVID-19. DHIS2 uses a digital data package based on standard metadata compatible with COVID-19 surveillance technical advice from the WHO and case descriptions. It is primarily used for reporting and reviewing routine health data [14].
