Fields such as industry/work or their residency address is not gathered or entered by this office. Those fields are demographical and obtained by the funeral homes for the death certificate (exempt from Fl.S. 119). The only time the residency address is included is if it is the location of death. In regards to infection location/date/etc., that is tracked by the epidemiologist at the Department of Health.
The determination if COVID-19 caused the death is made by a medical examiner and approved by the chief medical examiner. If there are contributing medical factors, they are listed in the primary portion of the cause of death or in the contributory section.
