Kin of the deceased can apply for it
The Director of Public Health (DPH) and Preventive Medicine, who is the Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths, has directed all birth and death registrars in the State to issue a copy of a medical certificate of cause of death to the next of kin of a deceased person, if sought by them.
In a press release, the DPH said in case of deaths for which the medical certificate of cause of death was not obtained or when families were not satisfied with the cause of death mentioned in the certificate obtained from the birth and death registrar, they could apply to the Collector and get the official document for COVID-19 death, after the application is considered by the district-level committee.
