Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson signed a Local Emergency Order requiring face masks or coverings to be worn in all facilities that are owned or leased by the County.

If an individual cannot afford a face mask, they will be provided one.

These are exceptions to the new policy:

• Individuals who have difficulty donning or removing a face mask without help
• Individuals who have a bona fide religious reason for not wearing a face covering
• Individuals who have a bona fide medical condition that will prevent them from wearing a mask

The Gwinnett Superior Court will not summon jurors and will not hold jury trials — either criminal or civil — through January 28, 2022.

All other non-jury proceedings, both criminal and civil, will still be heard, and you should appear as previously scheduled. If you have any questions about the scheduling of any matter, please contact the office of the assigned judge for additional information.

Gwinnett Superior Court will continue to assess the ongoing situation with COVID-19 and make any further announcements regarding the cancellation of court proceedings if necessary.

The court is observing safety protocols as previously set by the Gwinnett Superior and State Court Benches, including limitation of the number of those in the courtrooms when needed. Masks are strongly encouraged and may be required for all litigants and attorneys in the courtroom at the discretion of each judge. Appearance by Zoom may be available in many situations, and the office of each assigned judge may be contacted regarding the availability of a virtual court appearance. For more information, visit GwinnettCourts.com.
