COVID death figures to only those deaths where Covid is present at time of death

Petition Details

The reporting needs to be changed to accurately show those who had Covid in their system at time of death only! Anyone who may have had the virus and does not have Covid in their system at time of death needs to be omitted from the figures.

Additional Information

The daily death figures account for those who tested positive for Covid within 28 days of death. This is not an accurate reflection of the death total as someone who has had and recovered from Covid may die of a heart attack etc days after they are Covid negative. This massively inflates the figures and the public have the right to know exactly how many people who died had Covid in their system at time of death. Not those who previously had and recovered from the virus.
