Abstract
<p class="first" id="d5304724e414">During January 1, 2020-May 18, 2020, approximately
1.3 million cases of coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 83,000 COVID-19-associated deaths were reported in the
United States (1). Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of decedents
could inform medical and public health interventions focused on preventing COVID-19-associated
mortality. This report describes decedents with laboratory-confirmed infection with
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using data from 1) the standardized CDC
case-report form (case-based surveillance) (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/reporting-pui.html)
and 2) supplementary data (supplemental surveillance), such as underlying medical
conditions and location of death, obtained through collaboration between CDC and 16
public health jurisdictions (15 states and New York City).
