Because of privacy laws, county officials determined they could not offer a breakdown in cities with populations under 25,000 such as Coto de Caza, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos and Villa Park. Their numbers are combined under a category of “other” on the county’s website.

Officials with the city of Anaheim, which has the most cases in the county at 41, released a statement Sunday cautioning the public that the cases “don’t necessarily represent new spread of the virus in our community but rather detection of existing cases with more testing.

“That is actually a good thing,” the statement continued. “Patients will be treated and isolated and they recover.”
