However, based on guidance provided by the CDC, deaths are considered COVID-19 related if doctors, medical examiners or coroners determine the coronavirus was a primary or contributing factor. To help with that determination, a COVID-19 test can be given posthumously, especially if a person had not been tested prior to death.
