As COVID-19 risk dips, Orange County gets OK to reopen indoor restaurants, theaters
Labor Day is here, the unofficial end of summer and the time of year we start looking toward holiday festivities. But not this year: Coronavirus concerns are canceling popular Halloween and holiday light shows around Southern California.On Thursday, County Supervisor Michelle Steel said that officials were told Orange County would be eligible to reopen schools on Sept. 22, assuming the county shifted into the red tier.
“I hope the state moves faster to accommodate schools, students and families and not change those dates again,” she said. “Everyone wants our children back in school. Now that we have a date set, it’s imperative that we continue on our current course and do what we know must be done: social distancing, good hygiene and wearing masks.”
Following the county’s change in status,, Steel reiterated her message on Tuesday that residents must remain vigilant in order to continue progressing through the state’s reopening system.“With our continued hard work, I am confident that we will continue trending in the right direction and move into the Orange tier in the not too distant future. The County of Orange can’t get there without everyone’s help and participation in observing health guidelines.
