Orange County officials growing worried about rising COVID-19

[TexasTowelie]

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and other officials expressed alarm Monday about both the rising numbers of the county’s new COVID-19 cases and trends that suggest they are due to more than just an increase in testing.

Demings pleaded with residents to go back to wearing masks and social distancing whenever possible.

“We don’t want to go back to sheltering in place,” he said.

Yet he also cautioned that if the trends continue to the point of rivaling early April when more than 10% of people getting tested for COVID-19 were found to have the disease, he would consider “more significant action.”
