Rejected petition Stop classifying Covid deaths as any death within 28 days of a positive test.

The Government's of the UK should stop classifying Covid deaths as any death within 28 days of a positive test. The only deaths that should be classified as a Covid death are those where the person has died as a result OF Covid, as confirmed by a medical practitioner.

More details

The Government's of the UK should immediately stop classifying any death within 28 days of a positive test as a Covid death as this is falsely inflating Covid death data and wrongly influencing Government policy. It is also deeply distressing for relatives of the deceased to have their loved one classed as a Covid death when the true cause of death was something else.Cause of death should only be classified by a medical practitioner at the time of death.
