CDC Changes How It Will Count COVID-19 Deaths

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made a change in how it will count deaths from the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

Gizmodo reports the agency changed how it will start including in its tally both confirmed and probable cases and deaths attributed to COVID-19.

The CDC also officially classified COVID-19 as a nationally notifiable disease.

That means all state and local health agencies are required to provide any relevant case data to the CDC.
