Iowa Judicial Branch, Counties Work on Coronavirus Checklist
Des Moines, Iowa – The Iowa State Association of Counties and the Iowa Judicial Branch have collaborated on a checklist of COVID-19 protective measures so members of the public and state and county employees can safely return to Iowa’s courthouses.
The checklist addresses signage, personal protective equipment, social distancing, and cleaning. Judicial branch officials, county elected officials and department heads in each courthouse can use the checklist as a guide as they prepare for in-person operations.
“The safety of the public and our employees was paramount to both ISAC and the Judicial Branch as we worked together to create the checklist,” Chief Justice Susan Christensen said in a news release. “Every courthouse in Iowa is unique to its community, so I greatly appreciated ISAC’s knowledge of courthouse operations, their ideas, and their perspectives as we jointly developed a flexible and workable approach for the counties and the Judicial Branch to safely and responsibly welcome the public back to their county courthouses and the courts.”
ISAC President Burlin Matthews said in the release that the checklist is a product of “true collaboration” with the Iowa Judicial branch.
The ISAC and Judicial Branch checklist includes suggestions to ensure social distancing such as reconfiguring workspaces and public areas, markings that denote 6 feet of spacing and limiting how many people can gather in certain areas.
