New York officials are looking into past deaths to try to locate any that may have been caused by COVID-19 but aren’t included in the state’s current death toll.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo cited updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), saying federal officials want confirmed deaths and a new category, “probable deaths,” or deaths that are believed but not confirmed to have been caused by COVID-19.
