SANTA ANA (CNS) - Another COVID-19-related fatality was reported today in Orange County -- the 14th in just under than a week -- bringing the death toll to 33.
Another 41 confirmed cases were also reported, bringing the total to date to 1,676.
The number of hospitalized patients dropped from 156 on Sunday to 128, with the number of intensive care patients also dropping, from 56 to 42.
The number of people tested for COVID-19 in the county stands at 18,766, with enough kits for 2,491 more specimens.
Of the county's total cases, 2%, or 30, involve people under 18 years old; 8%, or 128, are between 18-24; 16%, or 271, are between 25-34; 14%, or 239, are between 35-44; 39%, or 652, are between 45-64, and 21%, or 356, are 65 or older.
Men make up 52% of the county's cases, and 61% of its fatalities.
Of the deaths, 6% were 25 to 34 years old, 3% were 35 to 44, 33% were 45 to 64, and 58% were 65 or older, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency, which reported that 33% were Asian, 27% were Latino, 24% were white, 6% were black and 9% were of an unknown ethnic background.
Anaheim has the most COVID-19 cases in the county with 207, followed by Santa Ana with 166, Huntington Beach with 138 and Irvine with 118. Those are Orange County's four largest cities.
Anaheim saw 18 new cases reported Saturday, and city officials said they believe part of that increase was related to an outbreak at the Anaheim Healthcare Center skilled nursing facility, where 15 patients have tested positive for COVID-19.
“While the number is still roughly in line with our share of the county's population, we will continue to monitor our share of cases as an indicator,” Anaheim officials said in a statement.
Anaheim Healthcare Center at 501 S Beach Blvd. is one of a dozen skilled nursing facilities in Orange County on a state list of 261 nursing homes that have experienced one or more cases of coronavirus.
The department's website said the list released over the weekend was a snapshot representing 86% of the state's 1,224 skilled-nursing facilities that had reported data.
