  • Description:
    The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has released final guidance to help with filling out death certificates for deaths related to COVID-19. Note that corrections have been made to this guidance, so please ensure you are using the most recent version.

    NCHS will begin posting provisional counts of deaths related to COVID-19 this Friday. National provisional counts include deaths occurring within the 50 states and the District of Columbia that have been received and coded by NCHS as of the date specified.

    Provisional counts for COVID-19 deaths are based on a current flow of mortality data in the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), and will include:

    • A weekly provisional count of deaths in the United States due to COVID-19

    • A provisional count of deaths from all causes

    • Percent of previous year’s deaths (the number of deaths received compared to the number of deaths expected based on data from previous years)

    • Pneumonia deaths (excluding pneumonia deaths involving influenza)
