Visitation by family and friends had been suspended since March 29. Attorneys, however, were still able to visit clients through the center, officials said.
“New guidelines will be in place when visitation resumes to include a revised schedule,” an Orange County Jail representative said. “Visitors must wear face masks and have their temperature checked to be admitted to the center."
Officials said anyone with a temperature over 100 degrees will not be allowed inside.
