SANTA ANA—Orange County’s number of COVID-19 hospitalizations fell out of triple-digits for the first time in months May 3, while the county also reported just 55 new infections and did not log any further fatalities.

“That’s amazing,'' Andrew Noymer, a University of California–Irvine professor of population health and disease prevention, told City News Service of the hospitalization number.
