Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Vanuatu

Filipino sailor fatality
I've scoured different news sources to try and determine for sure that the Filipino sailor, who as it currently stands is the only fatality attributed here to COVID, actually died from COVID, but I can't find anything confirming or denying it. This, from ABC Australia back in April '21, was the only site I could find that even mentions cause of death at all, and says that a cause of death hasn't been determined. Should it be removed as a fatality on the premise that COVID wasn't confirmed to be the cause of death when other possibilities, like drowning, haven't been excluded?

Vikram maingi, what do you think about this? I figured I should directly ask you since you do a lot of the work on this article.

There's been more fatalities and I want to bump this question again; do we keep the Filipino sailor fatality as a COVID fatality since there isn't any proof that he did or didn't die from COVID? I mainly ask because Ni-Vanuatu people have now died from COVID and I want to make sure the death toll in Vanuatu is as accurate as possible without any room for debate. Thanks! — E02162 (Leave a message!) 05:35, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
