|Updated:

The amount of Orange County inmates infected with the COVID-19 virus is less than one percent of what it was a month ago, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) said Feb. 5.

The OCSD is crediting the reduction with “robust mitigation efforts” to bring down the rate of infection at the Santa Ana facility.
