Please see the following update from the Court:
*Please Note: This is also in practice in the Sussex County Courthouse*
The response to the COVID-19 outbreak is rapidly evolving and requires close monitoring. The safety of our staff and the public is our top priority. In an effort to ensure the well-being of everyone who utilizes our courthouses on a daily basis, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office will be performing daily temperature checks using a no contact, non-intrusive laser device (see attached picture) of all persons entering the Morris County Courthouse, Administration & Records Building and P2 garage, through the security check points effective April 6, 2020. This includes Judiciary staff, judges, sheriff’s officers, outside vendors and maintenance personnel. Anyone with a fever of 100.4F or higher, or showing visible signs of illness, will be denied access to the building. Signs notifying the public of this policy will be posted on the courthouse doors.
Symptoms of COVID-19 can appear anywhere from 2-14 days after exposure. Symptoms may include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. If any of those symptoms occur, call your healthcare provider to discuss next steps. Also note that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a "
self-checker
" to help people make decisions about seeking appropriate medical care.
Thank you and please stay safe.
