  Covid-19 is responsible for high mortality in all countries, with the
maternal population it is no different. Countries with a high rate of maternal
mortality have deficiencies in the health care of pregnant women and women who
have recently given birth, which will certainly be enhanced in a situation of
overload in the health system, as occurred in this pandemic. Understanding the
impact of the pandemic on maternal health is essential to discuss public
policies and assist in solutions to future crises. With that in mind, we
present the Brazilian Obstetric Observatory COVID-19 (OOBr COVID-19). OOBr
COVID-19 is a dynamic panel with analyzes of the cases of pregnant and
postpartum women with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARI) during the
pandemic due to the new coronavirus. In this article, we present data loading,
case selections, and processing of the variables for the analyzes available in
OOBr COVID-19.
