Orange County officials are preparing for potential outbreaks of COVID-19 in area schools as they gradually reopen for in-person learning in the coming weeks.

Dr. Matthew Zahn, medical director of the communicable disease control division at the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), said on a Sept. 24 media call that investigators are responding within 24 hours to any reports of a positive case of COVID, at both schools and elsewhere, and making sure that those involved are aware of all the recommended actions.
