Orange County CEO Frank Kim said the closure will give workers time to redecorate the tents at the Anaheim site. Part of the grounds in the Toy Story parking lot will be converted into a drive-thru for people with disabilities.
When the conversion is complete, the super POD, or issue point, will “be able to serve eligible persons with disabilities with arrangements with appropriate vehicle plates or license plates,” the Health Agency said on Twitter.
Recent weather-related site closures were also a major factor in the conversion.
The county-run site is scheduled to reopen Monday.

Meanwhile, California is starting to set aside 40% of all vaccine doses for people living in the most vulnerable neighborhoods, in an effort to vaccinate those most at risk from the coronavirus and speed up the opening up of the state’s economy.
The doses will be distributed across 400 zip codes with approximately 8 million people eligible for injections, said Dr. Mark Ghaly, the Secretary of State for Health and Human Services. Many of the neighborhoods are concentrated in Los Angeles County and the Central Valley, which are among the highest contamination rates. The areas are considered most vulnerable based on statistics such as family income, education level, housing status and access to transport.
