- Several times throughout the day, our cleaning staff will clean frequently touched areas such as doorknobs, light switches, elevator buttons/panels, countertops, phones, handles, toilets, faucets and sinks. At the end of each day all juror occupied areas and common areas will be thoroughly disinfected.
- Court staff will frequently remind everyone to practice social distancing and require the use of masks in common areas [Courthouse Café (Birmingham location), elevators, hallways, bathrooms]. Gloves will be provided for those who choose to wear them when handling documents.
- Items that would normally be “self-serve,” or passed out to jurors in the jury assembly room (juror badges, parking permits, pens, etc.) will now be placed in individual bags.
- Elevators will be limited to 3 people at a time.
- Modifications to our courtroom layouts will be made, as necessary, to allow for social distancing.
- Hand sanitizers and sanitizing wipes are readily available for use throughout the courthouse, in the courtrooms, and jury deliberation rooms.
