Script Preparation code:

var Status;
(function(Status) {
    Status["A"] = "a";
    Status["B"] = "b";
    Status["C"] = "c";
    Status["D"] = "d";
})(Status || (Status = {}));

var st = 'c'

var set1 = new Set([Status.A,Status.B,Status.C]);

Tests:

compare individual strings
return (st === Status.A || st === Status.B || st === Status.C)
use a regex
return (new RegExp(`${Status.A}|${Status.B}|${Status.C}`, 'i')).test(st)
use a set
return set1.has(st)
