OCBC Launches "ReOpen OC Safely" as a Resource to Help OC Businesses Safely Reopen
IRVINE, Calif., May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Orange County Business Council has launched "ReOpen OC Safely," a webpage listing federal, state and county guidelines and orders, as well as industry-specific resources to help businesses prepare to safely reopen as the county continues to respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
OCBC encourages businesses to closely follow state and county guidelines for reopening, including these state industry guidelines, as well as county instructions for all businesses to self-verify on a checklist of items and post this verification to their entrance.
The site also offers general guidelines common across industry sectors, including: social distancing; cleanliness and sanitation; screening and prevention; transactions; and employee training and tools.
"Good business is also good health," said Lucy Dunn, OCBC President and CEO. "With OCBC's 'ReOpen OC Safely' resource, we strive to assist businesses to protect their customers, employees and the community in a time of pandemic, while also getting back to business. The last thing business wants is to return to more stay-at-home orders, so it is incumbent upon us to strive to meet health orders and guidelines to stay in business, grow the economy while protecting health."
In addition to these guidelines, the webpage includes links to guidance from the California Employers Association on what happens if an employee tests positive for COVID-19, the state's California Roadmap Reopening Survey, and local chambers of commerce for businesses to suggest guidelines in real-time for their specific industry.
Reopen OC Safely was developed in collaboration with Greater Irvine Chamber of Commerce, North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, and Visit Anaheim.
