The Covid-19 pandemic has caused impressive damages and disruptions insocial, economic, and health systems (among others), and posed unprecedentedchallenges to public health and policy/decision-makers concerning the designand implementation of measures to mitigate its strong negative impacts. ThePortuguese health authorities are currently using some decision analysis-liketechniques to assess the impact of this pandemic and implementing measures foreach county, region, or the whole country. Such decision tools led to somecriticism and many stakeholders asked for novel approaches, in particular thosehaving in consideration dynamical changes in the pandemic behavior arising,e.g., from new virus variants or vaccines. A multidisciplinary team formed byresearchers of the Covid-19 Committee of Instituto Superior T\'ecnico atUniversidade de Lisboa (CCIST analysts team) and medical doctors from theCrisis Office of the Portuguese Medical Association (GCOM experts team)gathered efforts and worked together in order to propose a new tool to helppoliticians and decision-makers in the combat of the pandemic. This paperpresents the main steps and elements, which led to the construction of apandemic impact assessment composite indicator, applied to the particular caseof {\sc{Covid-19}} in Portugal. A multiple criteria approach based on anadditive multi-attribute value theory (MAVT) aggregation model was used toconstruct the pandemic assessment composite indicator (PACI). The parameters ofthe additive model were built through a sociotechnical co-constructiveinteractive process between CCIST and GCOM team members. The deck of cardsmethod was the technical tool adopted to help in building the value functionsand the assessment of the criteria weights.
