COVID-19 Update

Orange County continues to see an increase in disease transmission. Over the past three weeks:

-Testing Rate: increased 29% from 130 to 168 average tests per day per 100,000 population 
-Positivity Rate increased from 7.1% to 14.1%.
-Case rate average increased 243% from 71 to 243 per 100,000. 
-Hospitalizations have increased 65% from 437 to 722. 

The trends are concerning and the elevated disease transmission puts the healthcare system at risk as illness worsens for those who are ill. As businesses opened, HCA has seen outbreaks associated with many different kinds of work sites with the most impacted business sector being restaurants. Restaurant clusters increased dramatically coincident with opening of indoor dining in the county, and HCA is seeing a decrease in these reports since indoor dining discontinued.
