The amendments to Code U07.1 COVID-19 and the assignment of the key number U07.2, which were initiated by the WHO and published by DIMDI, were implemented under high pressure in ID DIACOS^®.
This means the text adaptation of the ICD 10 Code U07.1! COVID-19, virus detected and the new ICD 10 Code U07.2! COVID-19, virus not detected have been included in the system.
