The map below is from the OC Health Care Agency’s dashboard update on Wednesday, Oct. 20, and shows coronavirus test positivity rates – the rate at which tests taken are coming back positive for the virus – by ZIP code.
Case rates and testing positivity (which are both provided as the average over seven days, lagging for a week to give time for more complete data to be factored in) are updated each Wednesday, reflecting information up to the prior day for testing data, and same day for case data. Calculations are based on guidelines from the California Department of Public Health.
The map from Oct. 20 (Click on the image to go to the site. It may take a few minutes to load):

**Note: ZIP codes with less than 20 cases can result in unstable rate estimates and should be interpreted with caution.
Orange County’s daily case rate dropped from 7 cases per 100,000 people last week to 6.6 per 100,000 this week, which would have still been in the red tier (substantial tier) of the California Department of Public Health’s four-tier color system, if it was still in place.
The test positivity rate in the county is 2.5% (7-day average with 7-day lag), down from 2.7% last week, which would be in the orange tier (Moderate tier). Both metrics have improved in the last few weeks. Three weeks ago both metrics were in what would have been the purple (most restrictive) tier for several months.
The average daily number of new cases (7-day average with 7-day lag) in Orange County was 227 cases per day (as of Oct. 11), down from 241 cases per day the prior week. Last year, on Oct. 10, it was 191. The peak for the daily rate was 3,497 on Jan. 8.
