Orange County health officials reported five additional coronavirus-linked fatalities Wednesday, raising the region’s death toll to 136.

The number of COVID-19 patients hospitalized countywide also hit a new high — 274 — in the latest update. That figure includes 101 people who were in intensive care, down slightly from the previous report.

Fifty-four of those who have died were residents of skilled-nursing facilities, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

Officials throughout California have contended with outbreaks of COVID-19 at such facilities, which are of significant concern because residents are particularly at risk of severe reactions to the disease.

Orange County also reported 116 new coronavirus infections Wednesday, boosting its cumulative total to 5,646. That figure includes an estimated 2,090 people who have since recovered.

Among those who have tested positive are 617 skilled-nursing residents and 369 county jail inmates.
