Clarification was sought on how deaths are classified as either from or with COVID-19. The approach has been inclusive, counting any death with COVID-19 as related. For instance, many deaths in residential care were categorized as probable cases despite not being swabbed. Recently, 15 deaths were reported, all classified as with COVID-19. The majority of reported deaths involved COVID-19 as a contributing factor, but it’s acknowledged that individuals could have died from other causes, such as accidents or pre-existing conditions. This aligns with international reporting norms, which include anyone who dies while having an acute COVID-19 infection, regardless of the underlying cause.
