Utah Courts

Physical Distancing in common areas, work spaces, and courtrooms - maintain 6-foot distance

Court patrons are encouraged to wash their hands frequently, and use hand sanitizer where available

Courtrooms may have new capacity limits based on the size of the room and physical distancing requirements

In-person patrons will be subject to COVID screening. If they cannot meet the safety criteria, they will be given contact information and not allowed into the courthouse

The mask mandate is lifted in all Utah State Courts, effective May 24, 2021. Individuals who have not been vaccinated are strongly encouraged to wear masks, and others are free to wear masks, but there will not be a mandate except in one circumstance: court personnel must wear masks when assisting patrons who are wearing masks. A mask will be provided to those who wish to wear one.

Courts will follow and comply with COVID-19 contact tracing efforts for both staff and patrons

Courts are encouraged to conduct remote proceedings as much as feasible. In-person proceedings can be conducted provided safe social distancing can be maintained

Touch surfaces and equipment will be cleaned at regular intervals in common areas and in courtrooms

Patrons will be encouraged to file their petitions by email and can contact the courts for instructions
