May 20 was the worst day for the number of newly reported cases of COVID-19 in Orange County since the pandemic began. But the situation in Orange County toward the end of May and into June has been relatively promising.
Just one day after the dire announcement, Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Michelle Steel said at a press conference, “In comparison to all our neighboring counties and a state as a whole, Orange County has some very promising numbers. Per 100,000 confirmed cases, Orange County has the lowest rate of confirmed cases in comparison to our neighboring counties.”
