The bad news is that we are now into year two of the pandemic, but the good news is that a vaccine is here! As vaccination levels rise and the country continues to reopen, it’s time for another update on numerous important public health and safety considerations that should be integrated into any in-person court operations. This webinar will include presentations from infectious disease specialists and epidemiologists highlighting recommendations for safely reopening.
