Missing Comorbidities

In several counties and regions, more than 70% of deaths in the state's database showed zero comorbidities for COVID-19 deaths through mid-December.

About 6% of deaths listed comorbidities as "unknown." They are counted above as not listing a comorbidity. About 9% of deaths shown in map involved a positive covid test result but officials determined covid was not the cause of death. The state reported county-level data for the California's largest counties and region-level data for all other places.
