SANTA ANA, Calif. —

The health officer for Southern California's Orange County has resigned after receiving threats over her order for residents to wear face coverings when near others in public to protect against the coronavirus.

Dr. Nichole Quick resigned unexpectedly Monday from a job where she worked 80-hour weeks and faced threats at a public meeting and on social media, said Frank Kim, the county's executive officer. He said she had been provided security.

“It's a very stressful position," Kim told reporters. “There have been multiple staff that have received threats and each one of those is reviewed by law enforcement. We take them very seriously.”

A message left for Quick was not immediately returned.

Quick is the seventh senior health official to resign in California since the pandemic began, and health officials have been facing unprecedented pressure, criticism and threats, said Kat DeBurgh, executive director of the Health Officers Association of California.

In addition to the California public health officials who have resigned, one was given a sheriff’s escort to provide security, DeBurgh said.

A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information on a group of burglars who stole 29 firearms from a store in Santa Monica last week, officials said Tuesday.

The burglars arrived at Big 5 Sporting Goods at 3121 Wilshire Blvd. around 8 p.m. May 31 and smashed the windows with a crowbar and a sledgehammer, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

They then used bolt cutters to cut through a metal gate and broke into the store, stealing multiple firearms, officials said.

Some of the suspects were seen riding in a white BMW four-door sedan, according to ATF.

Because the store is a federally licensed firearms retailer, ATF Los Angeles is offering up to a $5,000 reward, along with another $5,000 reward from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
