COVID-19 Surveillance Deaths

COVID-19 Surveillance Deaths

Surveillance deaths are a subset of people who meet the COVID-19 case definition that also meet one of two criteria: (1) had a death certificate listing natural causes and the death occurred within 30 days of their case event date, or (2) had a death certificate listing COVID-19 as an immediate cause of death, underlying cause of death, or significant condition contributing to death. The surveillance case definition for COVID-19 deaths differs from the definition used for Florida's Bureau of Vital Statistics. Numbers will not align between the two data sources. Data are provisional and subject to change.

Monitoring death data helps assess trends and target prevention opportunities.
