Orange County COVID-19 Hospitalizations Jump by Nearly 100 Overnight, Continue to Set Records

The county s ICU bed availability remains zero in the adjusted metric, but dropped from 10.2% Monday in the unadjusted category to 7.5%. The state created the adjusted metric to reflect the difference in beds available for COVID-19 patients and non-coronavirus patients. Just because a county s adjusted ICU rate may be zero, it does not mean there are no beds available, Orange County CEO Frank Kim said. The difference in the rates reflects what is historically expected from non-coronavirus emergencies, he said. County officials are encouraging anyone with a medical emergency to not refrain from dialing 911. It was welcome news to receive a relatively lower number of coronavirus cases on Tuesday, but the hospitals continue to fill up, Kim said.
