(Undated) – If you have ever wondered how the COVID-19 deaths are recorded, you are not alone. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, they report initially what is on the death certificate. But after a few days, they go back to ensure that COVID-19 was, in fact, the cause of death.
That’s the IDPH Dir. Dr. Ngozi Ezike. She reported yesterday that the state had conducted more than 20,000 COVID-19 tests in a 24-hour period. The state calls it an important milestone in the fight against the virus and important as Illinois tries to reopen the economy.
