Abstract (English): Introduction: Monitoring the evolution of COVID-19 has been essential for health decision-making. But this requires reliable numbers of the infected, dead and hospitalized, often difficult to have for multiple reasons. The use of fast and reliable estimation techniques, such as indirect surveys, is an option. Objectives: To present the CoronaSurveys project, which monitors COVID-19 by combining indirect surveys with the Network Scaleup Method (NSUM). Methodology: The system uses indirect online anonymous surveys to inquire about COVID-19, and the NSUM method to estimate cases. The system offers multi-language surveys with questions to track active cases, new cases, and fatalities, among others. Results: CoronaSurveys has been operating since March 2020, and continues to collect data, with over one hundred responses to date (over one million samples). The system has made good estimates for Spain and the United Kingdom, among other countries. Conclusion: This system is suitable in countries with limited health infrastructure or in situations of lack of knowledge about the pandemic, such as at the beginning of COVID-19, because its implementation cost is small and it requires simple devices to use it and few participants to obtain good estimates.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: Seguir la evolución del COVID-19 ha sido esencial para la toma de decisiones sanitarias. Pero ello requiere de cifras fiables de los infectados, muertos y hospitalizados, muchas veces complicadas de tener por múltiples razones. El uso de técnicas de estimación rápidas y fiables, como las encuestas indirectas, es una opción. Objetivos: Presentar el proyecto CoronaSurveys, el cual monitorea el COVID-19 combinando encuestas indirectas con el método de ampliación de red (Network Scale-up Method, NSUM). Metodología: El sistema usa encuestas anónimas indirectas en línea para consultar sobre el COVID-19, y el método NSUM para estimar los casos. Las encuestas están en múltiples idiomas con preguntas para rastrear los casos activos, nuevos y de muertes, entre otros. Resultados: CoronaSurveys está operando desde marzo de 2020, y sigue recopilando datos, con más de cien mil respuestas en la actualidad (millones de muestras). El sistema ha hecho buenas estimaciones para España y el Reino Unido, entre otros países. Conclusión: Este sistema es adecuado en países con infraestructura sanitaria limitada o en situaciones de desconocimiento de la pandemia, como al inicio del COVID-19, porque su coste de implementación es pequeño, requiere dispositivos simples para usarlo, y de pocos participantes para obtener buenas estimaciones.
