Kerala issues orders setting up death ascertaining panels in all districts
Kerala has set in motion the processes for issuing official COVID-19 death certificates and paying ex-gratia for the kin/legal heir of those who died of COVID-19 in the State.
It is expected that the confusions and controversies over the State’s “missing” COVID-19 deaths will be laid to rest once this process is complete.
The State government on Wednesday issued orders that COVID-19 Death Ascertaining Committees (CDACs) be constituted in all districts for the issuance of the ‘Official Document for COVID-19 Death’, in accordance with the new guidelines for declaring deaths due to COVID-19 drawn up by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
