Orange County releases list of all communities with coronavirus cases
Orange County is continuing to see a dramatic uptick in coronavirus cases — with confirmed infections swelling more than threefold over the course of less than a week.
The numbers
— Orange County reported 403 cases of coronavirus infection on Saturday, up from 256 Thursday and 95 the previous weekend.
— Four deaths have been confirmed so far. One was a county resident in his 70s who had underlying health conditions. Officials have not released information about the others.
Analysis
Health officials have said the county’s caseload will probably continue to increase as more people are tested.
“Community members need to know that we expect more cases and, unfortunately, more deaths in the coming days and weeks,†said county Health Officer Dr. Nichole Quick.
The county started releasing the number of cases by city on Friday, but officials warn that the counts don’t mean one location is more or less safe than another.
“There is risk countywide, and we need all individuals to listen to the recommendations of state and local health officials,†Quick said.
