Orange County coronavirus tracker: Cases, vaccines, maps and more

The coronavirus pandemic continues to take a toll across Orange County. Here is the latest information available from the county and state health departments, and a look at how the numbers have changed over time.

Use the tabs to see on a map or in a list how many residents of Orange County communities have had confirmed coronavirus cases or died of the disease.

In addition to the cases and deaths in the locations shown above, there are others where the patient’s hometown is unknown and in county jails.

The numbers in a particular community may decrease on some days as additional information comes in about where people lived and when they got sick or died.

Health officials say the number of actual cases is likely much higher than the number of confirmed cases because of how many people got coronavirus but were never tested, or took an at-home test whose results didn’t make it into the official statistics.

The number of deaths reported each day does not reflect how many people died of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours. The process of confirming the cause and reporting the death into the database can take days or weeks.

In Orange County, the estimated number of people who have recovered is the number of people who had confirmed cases 28 days ago, minus the current number of people who have died from coronavirus.

Different counties estimate recoveries in different ways, so their numbers should not be compared to each other.
