Is that the percentage of people who have died after testing positive for Covid-19 or the percentage of the population who have died after testing positive for Covid-19?

My calculation was simple - the population of Wales in 2019 was estimated at 3,136,000. So far in 2020, approximately 3,240 people have died with Covid-19 on their death certificates according to a recent BBC report, although the latest figure on their new pages (as of 15 hours ago) is lower still at 2,638.
