Beginning on Sept. 22, schools throughout Orange County, California, will no longer be required to apply for a waiver to reopen for in-person learning.

The county received approval on Sept. 8 to reopen all schools two weeks later after meeting the state’s requirement for improving COVID-19 case rates.
