SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS)—Orange County is likely to get knocked down to the most restrictive purple tier of the state’s economic-reopening roadmap, county CEO Frank Kim said Nov. 13 as health officials reported nearly 600 new cases of COVID-19.
“It’s not a record, but it pretty much puts a bow on it—we'll probably be purple two weeks in a row. That ship has sailed,” Kim said of the 598 new diagnoses of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, reported by the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) on Nov. 13.
