Population Overview

Most of the 500,000 COVID-19 cases in Orange County did not include the patient’s racial or ethnic data. This gap in data occurred for a variety of reasons. Some patients did not identify with a particular racial or ethnic classification, while some were not asked. As a result, we recommend avoiding generalizations about the impact of COVID-19 among various racial and ethnic groups.
