As the economy reopens many restaurants are closing once again due to exposure to COVID 19 among the staff.

San Diego, San Bernardino, and LA County publish a list of restaurant closings in their websites.  Orange County refuses to do so and says it has no plans to do it.

As a consumer, I should decide if I want to patronize an establishment that had a COVID exposure or not. The same way as Health Grades are published. COVID exposure should be published. 

The County of Orange has withheld data from the public.  Provided inaccurate charts. Provided inaccurate hospital data. OC asked cities such as Anaheim to withhold data on COVID 19 infections per zip code.

We need transparency and accountability from the County of Orange. 

A grassroots page has started to promote transparency for establishments  (I have no affiliation with the page) named COVID California.  

https://www.facebook.com/OCCovidCa/

This page is to promote transparency for companies that have been infected with Covid-19. All information that is posted has been sent to us by employees, companies, and community members. We are not government-affiliated. We are community-run.
