This is false and an annoyingly persistent myth. A death is only included in COVID statistics if it was one of the four contributing causes of death. If someone died from trauma such as a vehicle accident, but is found to have had COVID, that's not recognised as a contributing factor but merely incidental.

The WHO guidelines are very clear on this. [0]
