COVID-19 cases have zoomed up to 187 in Orange County, according to the O.C. Health Care Agency. The good news is that they are now saying that they will soon reveal how many patients there are in specific cities here in Orange County. Reportedly there are 22 victims in Irvine alone.

One of those victims may include U.S. Representative Katie Porter, a former UCI Professor who represents the greater Irvine area. She posted this message on her Facebook page today:

When I was elected, I committed to being transparent and accountable. I have kept that promise throughout my time in Congress.

Last week, I developed cold-like symptoms followed by fatigue. I stayed home and spoke to my healthcare provider.

Over the weekend, I had a fever over 100.4 so, as instructed, I continued to isolate in my bedroom and phoned my provider. I carefully followed all instructions to visit my doctor and received a test for COVID-19. I am waiting for results.

I will remain in self-quarantine until I have the rest results back and until directed by my doctor that it is safe for me to leave my home. I am participating by telephone in Congressional business and listening to the concerns of our Orange County community.

P.S. My children are so far healthy and handling things well.

The majority of Orange County’s cases are in the 18-49 age group with 101 victims so far.

As of March 24, 2020, 2 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, there are a total of 2,535 positive cases and 53 deaths in California (including one non-California resident), according to the State of California Public Health Department. Community-acquired cases have accounted for 707 of these victims, this includes 35 health care workers.

Key points to consider:

  • If you are showing symptoms of illness such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, and work in an essential function – you should self-quarantine at home until you are free of symptoms for 72 hours
  • If you are showing symptoms of illness and are already self-quarantining, try to avoid going outside until you are free of symptoms for 72 hours
  • If your symptoms get worse instead of better call your doctor
  • People with mild symptoms do not need to be tested for COVID-19

Medical questions – Call the O.C. Health Referral Line (HRL) daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1(800) 564-8448.

Non-medical questions – Call the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Public Information Hotline at (714) 628-7085.

The O.C. Public Health Order is not an order to shelter in place

Posted on by Posted in Disease, Health and Medical, OC Health Care, Orange County, Public Safety, Santa Ana 7 Comments

Today’s order from County Health Officer Dr. Nichole Quick is NOT an order to shelter in place. It is not a lockdown. It is important for all Orange County businesses to remain open while practicing social distancing consistent with the Governor’s guidance. However, following State guidelines, all bars and other establishments that serve alcohol and do not serve food shall close. All restaurants and other business establishments that serve food shall close all onsite dining. Pickup, delivery and drive thru services may remain open. It is important for all Orange County residents to read the order in its entirety.

Unfortunately, the order as written caused wide-spread confusion. In order to provide additional clarity requested by Orange County residents and businesses, the County will be issuing an amended Health Officer’s Order.

Should you have questions, please contact the County of Orange Public Information Hotline at (714) 628-7085. Please do not call 9-1-1 unless it is an emergency.

For general information about COVID-19, please call the OC Health Care Agency’s (HCA) Health Referral Line at (800) 564-8448, visit http://www.ochealthinfo.com/novelcoronavirus, or follow the HCA on Facebook (@ochealthinfo) and Twitter (@ochealth).

California’s Response to COVID-19:
We have been actively and extensively planning with our local public health and health care delivery systems. Here are some of the things we are already doing:  

  • As in any public health event, the California Department of Public Health’s Medical and Health Coordination Center has been activated and is coordinating public health response efforts across the state.
  • California continues to prepare and respond in coordination with federal and local partners, hospitals and physicians.
  • Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the state prepare for broader spread of COVID-19.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom requested the Legislature make up to $20 million available for state government to respond to the spread of COVID-19.
  • California activated the State Operations Center to its highest level to coordinate response efforts across the state.
  • 24 million more Californians are now eligible for free medically necessary COVID-19 testing.
  • California made available some of its emergency planning reserves of 21 million N95 filtering face piece masks for use in certain health care settings to ease shortages of personal protective equipment.
  • The Public Health Department is providing information, guidance documents, and technical support to local health departments, health care facilities, providers, schools, universities, colleges, and childcare facilities across California.
  • The California Employment Development Department (EDD) is encouraging individuals who are unable to work due to exposure to COVID-19 to file a Disability Insurance claim.
  • EDD is also encouraging employers who are experiencing a slowdown in their businesses or services as a result of the Coronavirus impact on the economy to apply for an Unemployment Insurance work sharing program.
  • California worked in partnership with the federal government to aid in the safe return of 962 Californians from the Grand Princess cruise ship. This mission centered around protecting the health of the passengers, and ensuring that when the passengers disembarked, the public health of the United States, the State of California, and partner communities was protected.
  • The Public Health Department is coordinating with federal authorities and local health departments that have implemented screening, monitoring and, in some cases quarantine of returning travelers. 
  • In coordination with the CDC, state and local health departments, we are actively responding to cases of COVID-19.
  • The Public Health Department is supporting hospitals and local public health laboratories in the collection of specimens and testing for COVID-19.

The California Department of Public Health’s state laboratory in Richmond and 20 other public health department laboratories now have tests for the virus that causes COVID-19. Nineteen of them are currently conducting tests, with the others coming online soon.
