To change the UK CV19 reporting to include those who die outside of hospital

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

To report on all CV19 deaths not just those in hospitals. We currently are the only nation reporting deaths as 'hospital only'. This gives an incorrect representation of the impact of the virus. This should be both retrospective and forward looking.
This will give a fair representation of the crisis we're facing, will align our reporting with that of other countries & the increase may push people to better respect the rules of the current lockdown.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
