As a result of this methodologic improvement, an additional 172 confirmed COVID-19 deaths were identified as having occurred within 28 days of a first positive COVID test result since the start of the outbreak. These have now been incorporated into the cumulative total. The Heads of Statistics for Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland decided the timing of release for this additional data based on the need to assure quality of the numbers for publication.
