The Centre has told the Supreme Court that deaths resulting from Covid-19 infection should have to be certified as Covid death, and if not done, the certifying doctor will face action.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said: "It is mandated that any death resulting from Covid-19 must have to be so certified that is, as Covid death, failing which everyone responsible, including the certifying doctor, will be responsible for penal consequences."
