According to Administrative Order AO-2020-12-F, all members entering the courthouse must wear masks and undergo a health screening with temperature checks.
The circuit issued an administrative order on March 16 when the COVID-19 pandemic became pronounced in the state, and that order has been amended to reflect current needs for safety and health within the courts.
