There are no such sections in a death certificate. Corona virus is a notifiable disease which contributes to the overall coin by off people with the infection but this does not require it's inclusion on the death certificate unless the certifying medic thinks that the illness caused or contributed to the death. Both high blood pressure and diabetes increase the risk of covid infection are the predominant associated illnesses in ICU. nd neither cause high ICU mortality alone. Either Corona contributed to death or it isn't on the death certificate as a cause.
