The safety of our guests and attendees continues to be our No. 1 priority and swift proactive measures have been taken in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) continues to monitor the situation through updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Florida Department of Public Health, along with direct dialogue with Orange County Government officials. The OCCC is adhering to guidelines from the CDC and continues to urge people to take health precautions including washing hands regularly and observing physical distancing.
The OCCC is meeting on a regular basis with key stakeholders at Orange County Government, the Florida Department of Health, Visit Orlando and partner agencies to evaluate the rapidly evolving situation.

Recovery and Resiliency Plan for Business Continuity
The OCCC team is working hard to ensure business continuity at the OCCC, and to support of Orange County’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we begin to host modified live events, the OCCC’s Recovery and Resiliency Committee has developed a set of guidelines. The guidelines were approved by Orange County Government’s Health Services and the OCCC Executive Team. Those guidelines have been released to employees, all clients, stakeholders and media and are located on the OCCC website, www.occc.net/guidelines. Keeping the health and safety of guests, employees, and the community continues to be a priority. The OCCC will continue to monitor policy changes from the CDC, state and federal mandates.
Sanitation Measures
As a Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accredited venue, the OCCC has a disinfectant procedure in place for cleanings which adhere to the CDC and WHO guidance. Recognized as the gold standard of safe venues, the OCCC is one of the largest venues in the nation to receive the GBAC STAR™ accreditation. As a division of the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA), GBAC STAR™ is an industry accreditation that provides third-party validation to ensure the implementation of rigorous protocols in response to biorisk situations. Focused on ensuring a clean, safe and healthy environment, the program establishes requirements to assist venues by providing best practices, protocols and procedures to control risks associated with the COVID-19 virus.
The Center also has an increased number of hand sanitation sites available throughout the surrounding campus, providing alcohol-based hand sanitizer for all attendees and staff. Other precautionary measures include enhancing onsite communications and signage regarding CDC recommendations, increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms and commonly touched objects like hand railings, door handles and ongoing training for OCCC staff and partners for best practices on providing a safe and healthy environment.
On-site Preparedness Plan
The OCCC recommends conventions implement handshake-free meetings and conventions for the foreseeable future.

Community-Based Testing Sites are state-managed and locally executed operations integrated with broader state public health services which may require varying levels of federal personnel support. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) remains the lead federal agency for the management of the response to COVID-19. HHS Regions will provide technical medical expertise, employ supplemental medical personnel, and manage the delivery of testing supplies to State-designated logistics sites. FEMA’s role has been assisting HHS with planning, coordination, logistics, and outreach with supporting states to identify sites and operational requirements. Media inquiries about testing sites are best-directed to state and local officials who are managing or running the sites. Media inquiries and interview requests for HHS should go to ASPRMEDIA@hhs.gov. Media inquiries about FEMA’s role should be directed to 202-646-3272 or FEMA-News-Desk@fema.dhs.gov.
