SANTA ANA (CNS) - Orange County saw a slight dip in the number of people hospitalized due to COVID-19 Thursday, but the intensive-care unit population continues to grow amid a regional surge in virus infections.
The county s new daily case numbers were lower than usual, with the Orange County Health Care Agency stating that previous issues with the state s data-reporting system led to some new infections that would ordinarily be reported on Thursday being included in Wednesday s report.
As a result, the county reported only 610 new cases on Thursday, a dramatic drop from Wednesday s near-record 4,514. The new cases lifted the county s cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 157,183.
