Petition Change reported COVID deaths to those where COVID was the primary cause of death

The daily published UK death figures need to be changed to clearly show deaths caused by COVID – i.e. that COVID was the primary cause of death - and not that the person had a positive COVID test up to 28 days prior to their death (but COVID was not the primary cause of death).

More details

We believe that publishing daily statistics on COVID deaths including those who recently had tested positive within the 28 day time-frame is not giving an accurate picture of the impact of COVID in society and everyday life, and could be leading to disproportionate measures and responses given the risk to the population.
