Anaheim cases: 9,927
Anaheim is at a cumulative 9,927 past, active and recovered cases since reporting by city began in March, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.
There were 254 new cases recorded across all of Anaheim's seven ZIP codes in the past seven days, up from 224 the week prior.
Anaheim has a cumulative total of 970 cases among children ages 18 down to infants.
As of Oct. 23, Anaheim has seen 314 people pass from complications of COVID-19, the condition caused by coronavirus.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends who have lost someone dear to them.
Anaheim's cumulative cases represent 2.7 percent of our city's total population of 359,339.
The county reports a seven-day average testing positivity rate and seven-day average daily case rate per 100,000 residents for each Anaheim ZIP code.
Both indicators are calculated with a seven day lag and updated every Tuesday.
The rates are calculated by dividing the seven-day daily case average by the ZIP code population then multiplying that by 100,000. For these rates, the county does not include cases among inmates or at skilled nursing facilities.
On a county level, these are two of the three indicators used by the state to determine which colored tier Orange County falls into for reopening. State calculations do include skilled nursing facility cases, though.
The third indicator is a health equity measurement. Learn more about that on our reopening page.
Here's a look at the latest data by ZIP codes in our city.

Orange County cases
As of Oct. 23, the Orange County Health Care Agency, the lead agency for coronavirus in our region, is tracking 58,010 cumulative cases of COVID-19.
There were 1,423 new cases recorded across the county in the past seven days.
The seven-day average of new cases reported as of Oct. 9 is 182.
Overall, the seven-day average has been in decline with fluctuations since July 11, when it peaked at 862.
Among cases, there are 2,349 cases reported in skilled nursing facilities, 574 cases among jail inmates and 189 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 51,990 people, or 89 percent.
Orange County has seen 1,440 deaths -- the first of which was reported March 24 -- from complications of COVID-19.
About 37 percent of those were patients at skilled nursing facilities.
While any loss of life is tragic, Orange County's death rate is relatively low at 2 percent.
The county this week surpassed 1 million tests, and is now at 1,044,997 total PCR tests completed.
A PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, test is a swab sample that confirms if a person has a current infection.
Orange County moved into the color coded red Tier 2 on Sept. 8. Tier 2 is for counties with "substantial" cases, according to the new state classification system.
Counties in red Tier 2 can allow some indoor activities to resume at 10 to 50 percent capacity.
The new state tiers are based on two measurements, each determined by calculating the seven-day average with a seven-day lag:
- Average positivity rate
- Average new daily cases per 100,000 residents
The county's new case rate is at 4.6 per 100,000, unchanged the week prior.
The county's current positivity rate is 3.2 percent, down slightly from 3.5 percent the week prior.
Our current case rate remains in the red Tier 2 category, which is for case rates of 4 to 7 per 100,000.
Our positivity rate continues to be in the orange Tier 3 category, which is 2 percent to 4.9 percent.
A county must meet both requirements to transition to the next tier.
An additional measurement, known as health equity metric, looks at lower socioeconomic neighborhoods across the county. Read more here.
The lowest quarter of Orange County's neighborhoods have to see a testing positivity rate close to that of the next tier we're looking to move into.
Currently, the positivity rate for Orange County's lowest quarter of neighborhoods is 5.6 percent, down from 6.5 percent the week prior.
It must be a no more than 5.2 percent for us to move into Tier 3.
The county must meet Tier 3 criteria for two weeks before it can formally move into that next tier. The earliest Orange County could be assessed for Tier 3 is now Nov. 3.
Any movement between tiers also requires county direction and concurrence on businesses changes based on state guidelines. |

Take it outdoors
Anaheim is offering grants to local restaurants to help build or expand outdoor dining space amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
All small businesses have been struggling under the restrictions and lifestyle changes this year, and restaurants have had to comply with many new regulations, including increasing outdoor dining options.
Being outside helps prevent the spread of the virus in combination with wearing masks and maintaining at least six feet of physical distance. That's why state guidelines allow for restaurants to reopen outdoors, in addition to some indoor capacity.
But we know not all restaurants have patios or courtyards already built out. So we're here to help.
Anaheim Restaurants can get up to $2,000 through our Restaurant Relief Grant Program to expand their outdoor dining space. This could include purchase of shade structures or umbrellas, décor, barricades or even renting tables and chairs.
Grants are available for both current and future expenses as well as previous expenses back to March.
Applications are now open and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Funds are limited.
The grant program is part of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan, through which we've provided $36 million in assistance to struggling renters, seniors, families, businesses and others amid these challenging times.
