(KAIR)--Members of the public can again go the Jefferson County Courthouse, following action of the Jefferson County Commission Monday.

Although the courthouse reopens to foot traffic, mask and social distancing requirements remain in place.

According to a release from the County, the change affects only the courthouse, and the public continues to be “encouraged to contact specific departments to discuss options besides in-person service in order to accommodate needs and limit the foot traffic as much as possible.”
The Courthouse reopened Tuesday, with the Commission’s vote Monday to reopen the Courthouse “for the purpose of conducting business that is not easily conducted by other means.”

All other county buildings remain in their current virus-prevention status.
