Orange County officials reported 107 newly confirmed cases of coronavirus as of Wednesday afternoon, April 1, upping the regional’s total to 606.
Wednesday’s update marked the biggest one-day jump in the numbers thus far, after three days of slowing in additions to the tally of new cases. However, officials have urged caution in interpreting the daily figure, saying it’s more important to look at the week-to-week trend.
The number of cases is also expected to increase as more people get tested. As of Wednesday, 7,271 people have been tested, an increase of about 600 from the day before.
Three more people have died in the county from COVID-19, increasing the number of reported coronavirus-related fatalities to 10. Four of the 10 deaths involved those younger than 65 and the deaths were evenly split between men and women.
