Pending approval from the Tennessee Supreme Court, courthouses in Shelby County will reopen next week, the Daily Memphian reports. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office announced the reopening plan today, which includes new rules for anyone coming to court at any of the three county courthouses. According to the new rules, all those entering the courthouse will be required to wear a mask and will need to enter and exit through designated areas. Those who refuse to wear a mask will not be allowed in and will have to call the court clerk’s office to inform the court that they will not be able to attend. Only people with court cases, crime victims and witnesses will be allowed to enter the buildings. Children not involved in court cases will not be allowed to enter.
