1. That all unvaccinated persons entering any Sonoma County Superior Courthouse shall wear a California Department of Public Health approved mask at all times in the Courthouse unless a Judicial Officer orders, or the CEO of the Court approves, removal of a mask for any purpose.
2. Fully vaccinated persons, who are not court personnel, are not required by the Court to wear a mask inside the courthouse, however they must first self-attest that they are fully vaccinated before entry. Justice partners that occupy offices inside the courthouse may require the wearing of masks in their premises, so it is suggested that all persons entering the courthouse bring a mask with them.
3. The Sonoma County Emergency Bail schedule shall remain in effect until further order of the Presiding Judge.
4. Any judicial officer shall have the authority to order any person removed from the courthouse for failure to follow these orders, or if the judicial officer observes COVID- 19-like symptoms.
