COVID-19 Cause of Death

I received a email from the Department

of Health with a link to the CDC

advising me as a physician that they

were going to adjust the way death

certificates were completed what did a

just death certificates mean they said

in this document if you think that

covid-19 was a contributing condition

you can put it down as a cause of death

and I said no

there's a box too on a death certificate

called contributing conditions that's

where you put contributing conditions if

it's emphysema if it's asthma

influenza we put it in the contributing

conditions box we were being told with

this disease we could put it as a cause

of death
