Florida is no longer suppressing information in the table of COVID-19 deaths compiled by the state’s medical examiners, according to Dr.
Stephen J Nelson, the chairman of the state’s medical examiners commission, News 6 partner Florida Today reported. “It is no longer embargoed.
It is once again a public record,” Dr. Nelson told Florida Today on Thursday. The states' medical examiners are tasked with investigating and certifying COVID-19 deaths in the state.
This includes cause of death determinations. A COVID-19 positive test result is a requirement for reporting any death as due to the coronavirus.
