Anaheim is at a cumulative 3,994 past, active and recovered cases since reporting by city began in March, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

There were 1,132 new cases recorded across all of Anaheim's seven ZIP codes in the past seven days.

While a large addition of cases, it's important to note that the cases reported each day span several prior days and are not just from the past 24 hours. OC Health this week also reported a large amount of delayed testing data received from the state labs, contributing to larger single-day counts.

Anaheim has seen 96 people pass from complications of COVID-19, the condition caused by coronavirus.

Anaheim's cumulative cases represent 1 percent of our city's total population of 359,339.

While we continue to see new cases across our city, Anaheim's cases as a percentage of all Orange County cases has been declining since June 23, when it stood at 19.3 percent of countywide cases.

As of July 10, Anaheim makes up 17.6 percent of countywide cases.

As of July 10, the Orange County Health Care Agency, the lead agency for coronavirus in our region, is tracking 22,650 cases.

All of the cases are from several prior days with the most recent on July 8.

The seven-day average of new cases is now reported as of July 1 and stands at 674.

The county now breaks out cases for those living in homelessness, those in skilled nursing facilities and those in county jails.

There are 1,291 cases reported in skilled nursing facilities, 420 cases among inmates and 116 among the county's homeless population.

The county's estimate of those who have recovered from COVID-19, the condition caused by coronavirus, is at 9,759 people. 

Orange County has seen 412 deaths - the first of which was reported March 24 - from complications of COVID-19.

While any loss of life is tragic, Orange County's death rate is relatively low at 1.8 percent.

The county now is at 296,311 tests completed after recently revising total test counts to include only swab current infection confirmation tests and not antibody tests, which only detect prior exposure.

As of July 10, the county's seven-day positivity rate is 14.7 percent.

The county's running total of 22,650 cases compared with total tests represents a 7.6 percent ongoing positivity rate.

The positivity rate is a carefully tracked indicator by the county and state health officials, and is part of the determination of how the county is faring in the face of the outbreak.

Another carefully tracked indicator is hospitalizations. Here's where we stand as of July 10.

Percentage of ventilators available: 65.4

Anaheim is seeing a surge in coronavirus cases.

It is part of a larger trend across Orange County, California and many U.S. states, where cases also are on the rise.

Rising cases are a serious concern for our city. We are bracing for more cases, hospitalizations, and, sadly, deaths.

We are seeing more cases for several reasons:

• Community spread: the virus continues to work through our city in what's called community spread.
• Testing: we are seeing more testing, which brings more detection of spread in Anaheim.
• Reopening: more people are going back to work and more businesses are reopening, bringing more interaction.
• Younger people: new cases include many more young people with those 18 to 34 now make up the largest number of cases.
• Letting our guard down: going out in public and gathering with others without social distancing, face coverings and other best practices.
• Skilled nursing facilities: group facilities with vulnerable residents continue to be a challenge.

Cases by area

We have seen cases in all parts of our city.

Cases do not indicate where a person contracted COVID-19, the condition caused by coronavirus. They merely indicate where a person lives.

The west and central part of our city have seen the majority of Anaheim's cases.

These also are the most populous and most densely populated parts of our city.

Other factors could be socioeconomic with working families, multi-generational households and communities where people live in close proximity to one another.

The areas are also home to most of our city's more than 30 nursing facilities, which make up more than 300 of our city's cases.

The Orange County Health Care Agency, the lead agency for coronavirus across Orange County, is providing additional resources and education for areas with higher case counts, including in Anaheim.

We are in regular contact with OC Health about coronavirus in our city.

Stopping spread, protecting yourself 

Community spread is a serious concern for our city. And knowing about where cases are provides additional insight.

But the amount of cases in Anaheim, or where they are in our city, does not alone represent any greater risk beyond what we already face from coronavirus.

Your greatest risk is from being in close contact with someone who is infected.

That is typically within six feet. Exposure duration, whether indoors or outdoors and whether people are wearing face coverings are factors.

The best ways to protect yourself:

• Assume anyone could have COVID-19. While that's not the case, this thinking will reinforce preventive behaviors we all should be taking.
• Stay away from anyone who is sick.
• Stay six feet or more from those outside your household.
• Stay home whenever possible.
• Wear a face covering in public and when encountering others outside your household.
• Wash or sanitize hands often.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Undertake basic cleaning and sanitizing of your home, workspace or things you touch.
• Know signs and symptoms.
• Get tested if you have exposure risk or concerns.

That helps prevent spread by not having those infected go undiagnosed out in our community.

Going forward

Until we have a vaccine or significant community immunity, we will need to live with coronavirus and fight further spread by diligently following preventive measures.

While there will be adjustments, California has determined that staying home and closing down large parts of our economy for an extended period is not sustainable.

As dangerous as coronavirus is, a shutdown also takes a significant toll on those who have lost work, on businesses that are struggling to survive and with physiological and other health impacts.

So it is critical we continue to follow best practices and all work to stop the spread of coronavirus in Anaheim.

We are in this together and will get through this together.
