Case Rate Down

Orange County’s case rate dipped to 2.8 cases per 100,000 residents from 3 the week prior, keeping the region within orange tier metrics for the fifth consecutive week.
 
The county’s test positivity rate dipped from 1.6% to 1.4%, meeting the least restrictive yellow tier’s requirements of less than 2% for the fourth week.

OC needs fewer than 2 new daily cases per 100,000 residents to enter into the least restrictive yellow tier, though if the state continues with its strong vaccination pace, specifically for harder-hit communities, the state could drop its color-coded tier system and fully reopen by June 15.

For now, businesses are restricted to orange tier guidelines.
