ORANGE COUNTY, CA Hundreds of critics of the county s pandemic response showed up at Tuesday s Board of Supervisors meeting, the appropriate forum for debate and discussion, according to Orange County CEO Frank Kim.
Recently, anti-vaccination and anti-mask activists have also taken to holding protests at the homes of county officials.
Last year, the former Orange County Public Health Officer Dr. Nichole Quick resigned amid protests at her home. Last week, the activists showed up at the home of the current county public health officer, Dr. Clayton Chau, who is also the Orange County Health Care Agency director.
The Orange County Probation Department, in accordance with State, County, and Juvenile Court COVID-19 safety precautions, will resume in person visiting at Orange County Juvenile Hall, Youth Leadership Academy and Youth Guidance Center on May 31, 2021.
The Probation Department temporarily suspended visiting in March 2020 based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in consideration of the Probation Department’s COVID-19 prevention efforts. Since that time visitation has occurred via telephone and virtual conferencing.
The Probation Department recognizes the importance of in-person contact to our youth and their families and look forward to resuming these visits in a manner that will prioritize the safety of our staff, the youth and their families.

In spite of challenges caused by the nation’s worst pandemic in history, Denison High School’s Class of 2021 graduating seniors are looking forward with great excitement to Saturday May 22nd at 8:30 p.m. when they’ll make the time-honored trip across Munson’s historic graduation stage to proudly accept their diplomas. Because the ceremonies will be outdoors, masks will not be required, but social distance guidelines will be enforced. Only graduates will be seated on the field.
In case of rain on Saturday, graduation will be moved to Sunday night at 8:30. If it rains on Sunday night, the program will be moved to the DHS gymnasium and each senior will be issued four tickets to distribute to family.
