There were 106 new coronavirus cases reported each day on average in the past week, up slightly from 104 for the week ending May 5, with inland cities continuing to drive increases.

Meanwhile, coastal cities that initially saw higher case counts continue to decrease on a weekly basis.

There are about 3,602 cases as of Tuesday, including 374 senior living residents and 259 OC jail inmates. There have been 77 deaths, including 18 senior living residents and no jail inmates.

About 54,769 of the county’s 3.2 million residents have been tested to date.
