The new ArcGIS data platform (see Desktop, Mobile & Map Buttons below) improves the COVID-19 reporting process and minimizes any discrepancy between State and Orange County information by reporting same day information. The 6 a.m. State data are downloaded from CalREDIE each morning, checked to remove duplicates and/or out-of-county residents and then reported to our website by 5 p.m.
Please know that the OC Health Care Agency staff will not be posting case count updates on Thanksgiving, 11/26/20, as our office will be closed for the major holiday. Thank you for understanding.
