Anyone over the age of 2 entering the Courthouse, Meeks Justice Center, Courthouse Annex and Criminal Division Services must wear a mask or facial covering. Court staff will also continue to be required to wear masks or facial coverings outside of their personal work spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone coming to a Court facility without a mask will be provided with one by security staff, free of charge. Social distancing measures already in place in Court facilities, including limited courtroom seating and accommodations for jurors, will also remain in place for now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allensuperiorcourt.us\/covid19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for more on what steps about being taken to protect the public in Allen County Court facilities<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_11_header.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Komets celebrated their back to back Turner Cup Championship downtown.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='d6521dc718b13bc7aaf47e7832ced85f' data-image-id=\"1812\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_11_header.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_11_header.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/05\/12 - Komets celebration\" data-description=\"The Komets celebrated their back to back Turner Cup Championship downtown.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/05\/12 - Komets celebration\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/05\/12 - Komets celebration\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1812\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_11_header.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_06_14_header.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Headwaters Park on June 12, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='d6521dc718b13bc7aaf47e7832ced85f' data-image-id=\"2432\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_06_14_header.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_06_14_header.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/06\/14 - Headwaters Park\" data-description=\"Headwaters Park on June 12, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/06\/14 - Headwaters Park\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/06\/14 - Headwaters Park\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2432\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_06_14_header.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2005-trf\/8741.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"After the Three Rivers Festival Parade, the Fort Wayne Fire Department provided a moist cool-down at the Courthouse Green.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='d6521dc718b13bc7aaf47e7832ced85f' data-image-id=\"2787\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2005-trf\/8741.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2005-trf\/thumbs\/thumbs_8741.jpg\" data-title=\"2005 TRF: FWFD provides cool-down\" data-description=\"After the Three Rivers Festival Parade, the Fort Wayne Fire Department provided a moist cool-down at the Courthouse Green.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2005 TRF: FWFD provides cool-down\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2005 TRF: FWFD provides cool-down\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2787\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2005-trf\/thumbs\/thumbs_8741.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2006-trf\/13641.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Fort Wayne Police Department cars and motorcycles along with Allen County Sheriff&#039;s motorcycles lined up on Superior Street after the 2006 Three Rivers Festival Parade.
