Anaheim has the most COVID-19 cases in the county with 196, followed by Santa Ana with 157, Irvine with 116 and Huntington Beach with 112. Those are Orange County's four largest cities.

Anaheim saw 18 new cases reported Saturday, and city officials said they believe part of that increase was related to an outbreak at the Anaheim Healthcare Center skilled nursing facility, where 15 patients have tested positive for COVID-19.

"While the number is still roughly in line with our share of the county's population, we will continue to monitor our share of cases as an indicator," Anaheim officials said.

Anaheim Healthcare Center, at 501 S Beach Blvd., is one of 12 skilled nursing facilities in Orange County on a state list of 261 nursing homes that have experienced one or more cases of coronavirus.

The department's website said the list was a snapshot representing 86% of the state's 1,224 skilled-nursing facilities that have reported data within the last 24 hours.
