The state also adjusted its official COVID-19 death count on Wednesday to remove seven deaths recorded in King and Yakima counties where COVID-19 was not the primary cause, Stromme Warren said.
“If somebody came in [to a hospital] with COVID-19, and then ended up dying of something very, very unrelated, it would not be counted from that perspective,” Lofy said then. “But I do have to say that sometimes it’s pretty hard to tell if the COVID-19 infection could have contributed to the death in any way … So, in determining the cause of death, it can sometimes be a little bit challenging. We do leave it up to the health care provider to tell us whether they think COVID-19 contributed to the deaths.”

State officials also compare death certificates to disease surveillance data, to identify those who had Covid-19 but died of an unrelated cause, like a gunshot wound. Washington has removed such deaths.
The president and conservative news media have accused states of inflating their counts, even as public health experts have said that undercounting is more likely. Limited awareness and testing during the initial months of the pandemic mean an unknown number of early Covid-19 deaths will never be counted.
The C.D.C. asked states to start reporting probable deaths in April, based on guidance from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, which cited a lack of standardized Covid-19 surveillance among states.
“If we only counted lab-confirmed deaths, we all agree that we will undercount the number of individuals that have died,” said Janet Hamilton, the executive director of the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, a group that helps the C.D.C. define cases and deaths from disease.
