We present preliminary pooled estimates of all-cause mortality for 24 European countries/federal states participating in the European monitoring of excess mortality for public health action (EuroMOMO) network, for the period March–April 2020. Excess mortality particularly affected  ≥ 65 year olds (91% of all excess deaths), but also 45–64 (8%) and 15–44 year olds (1%). No excess mortality was observed in 0–14 year olds.engEuroMOMOMortalityCOVID-19 PandemicAll-cause MortalityEuropeSistema de VigilânciaEstados de Saúde e de DoençaPortugaljournal article10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.26.2001214
