Georgetown: The Judiciary and magistracy is pulling out the stops to protect itself and those around them from the deadly Coronavirus.
From sanitizing of visitors to setting up glass barriers around magistrates. Visitors to the Magisterial, High and Appeal Courts will see some of those measures in place from Monday.
The decision was made last Friday at a High Court meeting that was attended by Chief Justice (ag) Roxanne George, Judges, Magistrates and other members of the Judiciary.
The officials discussed measures that would be put in place from contracting Covid-19 from persons who might be infected and have matters in court.
Persons will be sanitized at the main entrance of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts before they are allowed to enter the courtyard.
Persons attending court will be requested to walk with their personal hand sanitizers.
No one will be allowed in the courtroom if they are not sanitized.
Precautionary measures will also be taken in the courtrooms; glass barriers will also be erected to block the Magistrates from the public.
The same measures were put in place for the High Court, Court of Appeal and the other Magistrates’ Courts around Guyana.
Persons who are requested to not attend court if they are displaying symptoms similar to those infected with Covid-19.
