Orange County's Board of Supervisors agreed on a reopening roadmap, late Tuesday. Officials say that they are operating under the state of California's safer at home orders, and the county is not yet reopening nonessential businesses.

Orange County residents are seeking to help one another during the time with so many out of work. A pop up food pantry was planned for early May in Mission Viejo.

Despite restrictions designed to slow the spread of the virus, crowds flocked to Orange County beaches over the weekend as temperatures rose to summer-like levels, which drew criticism from Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday.
