"FIGURE NOTES:

Number of deaths reported on this page are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period. Data are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction and cause of death. See https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm for more information. Data for New York excludes New York City. Data on all deaths excluding COVID-19 exclude deaths with an underlying cause of U07.1. Deaths with a multiple or contributing cause of U07.1 are included; therefore counts may not match the numbers of COVID-19 deaths reported elsewhere that include deaths with a multiple cause of death code of U07.1. Death counts were derived from the National Vital Statistics System database that provides the timeliest access to the data and may differ slightly from other sources due to differences in completeness, COVID-19 case definitions used, data processing, and imputation of missing dates.
