SANTA ANA, Calif.—As cases of the CCP virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, in Orange County jumped from 29 to 42 Wednesday, officials have revised the wording of an order from the county’s chief health officer that led to confusion among some residents who thought they were being told to shelter in place.
Orange County Health Officer Dr. Nichole Quick issued an order on Tuesday that prohibited gatherings and community events with exceptions for “essential activities.” The order confused some residents and business leaders who thought they were being told to close down offices and stores.
