COVID-19 Information

Mask Policy

The Court recognizes that the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Allegheny County has been trending substantially downward and that, under the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, mask wearing in Allegheny County is recommended based on personal preference.

Persons within court facilities of the Fifth Judicial District are permitted, but not required, to wear masks. This requirement is subject to the discretion of each presiding judge, Magisterial District Judge, or Hearing Officer who may require masking in their courtroom, chambers, or administrative areas, and who may require masks to be lowered or removed if necessary to conduct a judicial proceeding.
