New York reports cumulative death data at the facility-level. New York reports death data as COVID-19 confirmed and COVID-19 presumed. According to New York’s site, “In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed.’” New York reports deaths as a combination of residents and staff. The state’s data is cumulative since March 1, 2020. New York provides facility-level of data.
