New COVID-19 cases in Orange County have appeared to be on the decline in recent weeks as well, but reporting and testing glitches and delays have made it challenging to track trends.
The county announced another testing glitch on Monday which resulted in a backlog of tests that were uploaded today, adding 17,133 tests to the system and bringing the total tests count to 435,927.
