We are seeing nearly 1,000 new cases in Orange County daily. Those are the numbers we saw at the highest peak last year," Mayor Jerry Demings, a Democrat, said Monday during a news conference. Urging the county's residents to get vaccinated, Demings added: "We, as a community, need to work together to slow the spread." 61.59% of Orange County residents ages 12 and above have had at least one shot of the vaccine," he said.
