 First, I want to thank our municipal court judges and staff, our justice system partners, members of the legal community, and the citizens we serve. Thank you for your hard work and your patience during this challenging time. Second, I want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to carry out the court's mission during the COVID-19 pandemic. We've been hard at work planning how to adapt and respond to the restrictions required during this time. The important work of the court cannot come to a screeching halt. However, we must undertake our responsibilities in a way that protects the public health. The City of Columbia Municipal Court is always concerned about the safety of its visitors. In light of the pandemic, we have closely examined our procedures and made important changes to help safeguard our health and your health while you're here. We are limiting the number of people that are allowed in the courtroom at one time. Only defendants, witnesses, and victims will be allowed inside our courtrooms. Anyone who is sick or has COVID-19 symptoms will not be allowed to enter the courthouse. Everyone who enters the courthouse must have their temperature checked. Anyone who registers a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or above will not be allowed to enter the courthouse. Employees and members of the public are required to wear face masks when at the courthouse. Everyone must maintain social distancing by staying at least six feet apart at all times. There are easy-to-read signs, floor guides, and seat guides to remind people of the need to social distance. We have also increased our cleaning and disinfecting, focusing on high-touch surfaces and common areas. The court has implemented this plan in collaboration with our safety team, police department, and janitorial staff to provide you safe and healthy access to our courthouse. If you have specific COVID-19 questions or concerns, please call 803-545-3127. We are committed to serving the public now and always, and we stand ready to safely welcome you back into our courtrooms.
