ORLANDO, Fla. - An Orange County Strike Team charged with enforcing coronavirus safety measures has gone to 170 businesses so far this week, making sure establishments are following guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Out of those, two businesses were each fined $300, while eight received warnings for violating guidelines.
One of the businesses warned was Pedro Tire Repair. According to the county, the strike team went there three times, because the owner was not wearing a mask and did not have any signs posted asking customers to wear them.
