Henry County Superior Court adopted a number of guidelines for its ongoing operations, after an order by the state’s Supreme Court extended the declaration of statewide judicial emergency.
Admission requires a screening for cough, fever and recent exposure to COVID-19. Anyone who has been diagnosed with the virus or exposed to it in the past 14 days is instructed not to enter the court, but to call the phone number provided with your court notice to receive further instructions. Those who are admitted to the court will wear a face mask at all times. One will be provided at the door if necessary. Except for family members or those with whom they traveled to the court, persons are to stay at least six feet away from others and not board elevators with others.
Other directives may be issued by security personnel at the courthouse as well. Failure to comply with the order could result in contempt of court.
