The Orange County Health Care Agency reported 353 new cases of the coronavirus as of Monday, Aug.24, bringing the cumulative total of positive tests to 46,307 cases. An estimated 14,673 new cases have been reported in the last 30 days. There were no new deaths reported in Orange County on Monday, keeping the death toll to 897 people. The data on deaths in the county is compiled from death certificates or gathered through the course of case investigations and can take weeks to process, officials say. The most recent deaths were on Aug.19. Orange County’s numbers have improved enough to be removed from the state’s watch list. On Sunday, Dr. Clayton Chau, Orange County’s Health Care Agency director and acting health officer, said he was confident the county would keep off the watch list over the 14-day window.
