Several Chinese doctors revealed that authorities withheld information and changed the definition of a COVID-19 death. The doctors also stated that hospitals have been forbidden to declare COVID-19 as the cause of death on death certificates.

“The government has now stipulated that patients who die because of exacerbation of underlying diseases due to COVID-19 cannot be counted as COVID-19 deaths. That is the standard,” Liu Chen (a pseudonym), a doctor at a hospital in Dalian City, Liaoning province, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 17.
