Orange County has extended its state of emergency due to the increase in respiratory illnesses sending more and more children to local pediatric hospitals.
This comes at the same time officials are seeing a rise in COVID and flu cases statewide, leading to record numbers.
The extension of the health emergency through January allows hospitals to get medications more easily and approval to convert parts of the hospital as needed to accommodate pediatric patients. Officials said during the height of the pandemic, levels were low due to masking and social distancing guidelines, but now because both have eased cases are increasing.
