Actually, it isnt.
Any death where the patient has tested positive is being counted, whether the virus was the actual cause or not.

As has been noted many times, most of them had other underlying conditions as well, which could also have been the cause of death.
Just like there is no way to tell how many untested people have the virus, there is no way to know how many deaths would have happened anyway due to other causes.
