The rapid spread of the virus and the lack of definitive treatment caused countries to face large numbers of infected people and created social, economic, and health challenges (3, 4). The form of the epidemic has not been the same in different countries (5). Quantifying the impact of COVID-19 relative to other causes of disease and injury is essential in every country, and understanding and quantifying the combined impact of mortality and morbidity from a disease is a key step in standardizing comparisons across countries (6). In this regard, Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) is the best health measure to determine the effectiveness of social and systematic interventions. It is introduced by the World Bank and theWorld Health Organization to quantify the Burden of diseases and injuries in studying the global Burden of disease. This index, which is a combination of years of life with disability and years lost due to premature death, shows the severity of the disease on a scale of 0 (complete health) to 1 (death) (7). It is widely used to calculate the economic effects of alternative interventions in the health sector...
