NVSS COVID-19 Alert No. 2 - March 24, 2020
New ICD Code Introduced for COVID-19 Deaths
When will this be implemented?
Immediately
What is the new code?
UO7.1 COVID-19
The WHO has provided a second code U07.2 for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available.
Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause?
The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate.
However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID19 being the underlying cause more often than not.
