Home-care guidelines for patients with COVID-19
If you are required to issue a death certificate for your patient, COVID-19 should be recorded as the cause of death where the disease caused, is assumed to have caused, or contributed to death. Existing conditions, especially those which are chronic in nature, that may have contributed to death should also be included.
Guidance for certifying deaths due to COVID-19 can be found on the Australian Bureau of Statistics website.
