Orange County officials said Sunday that cold weather emergency shelters at the Fullerton and Santa Ana National Guard Armories will be relocated by Tuesday due to the governor’s activation of the National Guard to assist in food and supplies distribution during the COVID-19 crisis.
The Shelter in Fullerton will be relocated to the Independence Park Gymnasium, 801 W. Valencia Drive.
The Santa Ana shelter will be relocated to the Salvation Army site at 2603 W. First St. in Santa Ana.
The shelters are scheduled to close on April 15, but the county is working with individual cities to extend that date and continue 24-hour access to address the current situation, officials said.
Orange County residents with medical questions about COVID-19 are advised to call the OC Health Care Agency’s referral line at 800-564-8448, or visit www.ochealthinfo.com/novelcoronavirus.
