Abstract
Counts of covid-19 deaths will continue to influence government responses for some time to come. Infrastructures for counting deaths must be adapted to fit evolving circumstances.

A critical question for decision makers and society is: what does a sustainable approach to the collection and use of data on covid deaths for public health purposes look like?
