ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – Orange County reports 322 new COVID-19 cases and more deaths, bringing the county total to 39,076 cases and 720 deaths.
Orange County Chief Executive Frank Kim told the City News Service this week that officials were cautiously positive about general trends, but that it was difficult to wait for disorders with the state platform to report coronavirus rates.
The county had reported only 43 new cases of coronavirus on Friday, but that small number was probably due to reporting problems.
Kim said hospitalization rates are declining and those numbers are affected by reporting problems.
The number of others recently hospitalized with the 491 virus on Saturday, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency, adds 167 in intensive care. Those numbers were 511 and 177 on Friday.
The number of hospitalizations is a more reliable barometer, Kim said, because hospitals use another online software platform to inform the state. State officials asked the labs to send manual copies of the effects of the checks as backup until the software challenge is resolved, he said.
“If you look at the hospitalization figures, extensive care rates peaked around July and fell steadily,” Kim said. “This is an encouraging sign. We had an increase in hospitalization and extensive care rates in mid-July and either has tended to decline ever since. We believe it is a positive sign and we hope to have returned to a much stronger point in the working environment. “
Of The 16 deaths on Saturday, one was a qualified nursing home resident, one one NWS staff member, 3 were citizens of an assisted living facility, and 11 were out-of-care home runs.
Here’s a look at all the coronavirus advances in California through August 10.
Since the start of the pandemic, 281 qualified nursing service citizens have died from COVID-19 in Orange County and 38 service apartment citizens have died of the virus.
Here’s a look at all the coronavirus advances in California through August 10.
The rate of citizens undergoing COVID-19 testing in the county increased from 8%, which is the desired rate statewide, to 8.3%. And its case rate consistent with 100,000 inhabitants is worth more than 103.8 to 95.6, well above 25 that match the threshold of 100,000 inhabitants in the California Department of Public Health.
The average three-day for the accumulation of hospitalized patients increased from -5.1% to -0.7%, well below the accumulation threshold of 10% of the state.
Beds available in the ICU are at 32% and the percentage of enthusiasts is 63%. The state threshold is 20% of the extensive care beds that must be taken to attend a wave and 25% of the available fans.
The county reported that 459,479 COVID-19 tests were conducted, 6,871 reported Saturday. There were 29,568 documented recoveries.

Kim noted that the age organization with the highest positivity rates is young adults, who are also among the least vulnerable to death because they suffer the least from underlying aptitude problems. And he said that the number of deaths among the citizens of nursing homes has been declining, “so I hope we have reversed that trend” of deaths.
Dr. Clayton Chau, director of the county’s fitness company and acting fitness director, said state officials said about 300,000 tests had not yet been compiled into the state formula. He said he “trusts” that the state can simply solve the problem.
According to Kim, the COVID-19 check request was particularly reduced on the county check at the Anaheim Convention Center.
“We’ve had a massive percentage of probation and it’s loose and yet there are fewer people than there were weeks ago,” he said.
County officials are discussing the desirability of opening a moment at Costa Mesa Exhibition Park because they can now manage capacity in Anaheim, Kim said.
He said it seems that the more widespread use of face masks, as well as the state closure of bars and restaurants in restaurants, have played a role in fighting the spread of the virus. But Orange County, which had 38,754 documented cases, remains on the state watch list for counties with the highest rates of new cases and hospitalizations.
As local school officials prepare for class initiation, county officials generally report the number of coronavirus cases in other age groups.
Since the onset of the pandemic, 370 young people under the age of 3 have been infected; 471 in the age group of 4 to 9 years; 373 from 10 to 12 years; 348 among 13- to 14-year-olds; 1,286 in the 15-18 age group.
Many elementary schools are preparing programs for state and county waivers that would allow classroom instruction for users up to sixth grade. The state has required county schools on the watchlist to conduct distance education until they are removed from the watch list.
About 80 schools in Orange County, most commonly autonomous and personal schools, have expressed interest in obtaining waivers, Chau told reporters Friday afternoon.
He said the discussion had warmed up between educators and the state and county about holding categories abroad.
“We talked about the features to have outdoor categories as much as possible,” Chau said. “I think Orange County schools are very open, both public and personal, Array … And I think the state supports them.”
The biggest fear of educators and public fitness officials is knowing how weather situations will be those plans, Chau said.
“The challenge is climate-related: it’s too hot and when winter comes it’s too bloody for children,” he said. “But we know that the outside is much larger than the inside, and this verbal exchange has begun.”
The state has issued updated rules for youth sports activities, allowing activities to resume, but participants adhere to protection and physical distance protocols. Participants must remain two metres away and activities will be held outdoors as much as possible. No tournaments, occasions and indoor games that require close contact between participants are not allowed.
