Deaths (confirmed)
Category: Outcomes
Total fatalities with confirmed COVID-19 case diagnosis (per the expanded CSTE case definition of April 5th, 2020 approved by the CDC). In some states, these individuals must also have COVID-19 listed on the death certificate to count as a COVID-19 death. When states post multiple numbers for confirmed fatalities, the metric includes only lab-confirmed deaths with COVID-19 listed on the death certificate, unless deaths among confirmed cases is a more reliable metric in the state.
