SANTA ANA, Calif.—After blocking Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) officials from joining Supervisor Katrina Foley’s countywide COVID-19 briefings—so as not to distract them from their routine duties—the Supervisors approved allowing the experts to join her briefings twice a month.

After a few weeks of holding the conferences without HCA experts, Foley told The Epoch Times she appreciated working in collaboration with health officials.
