During the COVID-19 pandemic, Orange County Government formed Strike Teams (also known as Business Assistance Compliance Teams) to help businesses stay open safely and instill public confidence that businesses were safe to patronize. The teams help make a “striking” difference in positive community health outcomes and increased confidence in residents visiting local businesses because safe CDC protocols were followed.
