Abstract

<p>It is an important role of medicine to analyze people who have died from COVID-19, and to help maintain the health of posterity and improve and prevent diseases. Prompt publication of cause of death statistics based on accurate diagnoses of causes of death is the basis for health policy and medical research pertaining to infectious diseases. The spread of COVID-19 has changed the way people behave, and the number of deaths due to external factors related to human behavior, such as traffic accidents, is changing. There is concern that accidents and violence at home, and accidents associated with drinking and taking drugs will increase in the context of people staying home and teleworking; thus, it is desirable to develop remote ways of handling such cases using information and communication technology. By accumulating knowledge gained under the spread of infectious diseases, it is possible to prepare for everyday accidents and new disasters that may occur in the future.</p>
