The number of coronavirus infections in Orange County hit a new peak of 711 on Friday, with Irvine, Newport Beach and Anaheim among the hardest hit with each reporting more than five dozen cases, officials said.

The county’s death toll remained unchanged at 13. Countywide, 103 people are currently hospitalized, 44 of them in intensive care, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

To date, 8,727 people have been tested for coronavirus infection in the county.

With the number of cases rising by the day, county health officials are now saying residents should consider covering their faces when they have to go outside.

“Leave the N95 and surgical masks for our brave healthcare workers and first responders,” the county Emergency Operations Center wrote on Facebook. “Make your own face covering out of scarfs, bandannas, T-shirts, sweatshirts or towels or anything made of cotton, silk or linen — so long as it covers your nose and mouth.”
