Centre Issues Guidelines To Estimate Covid Deaths In India
Owing to Supreme Court's order, the central government and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have jointly issued Covid related death guidelines for issuing 'official documents'. Guidelines outline- those diagnosed positive through RT-PCR/Antigen test, or an in-patient facility by a physician, are to be considered as Covid death. Also, deaths within 30 days, however, ICMR advised within 25 days, are to be treated as Covid deaths.
