The map below is from the OC Health Care Agency’s dashboard update on Wednesday, Aug. 25, 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.
