Coronavirus — Updated Safety and Operational Protocols
Woodmere, United States - April 14, 2021 /PressCable/ —
Per Diem Services, Inc. is bringing you all the latest court updates surrounding the COVID pandemic and how court will be proceeding in the coming weeks. As of April, the latest PRESS RELEASE is as follows —
Two recent developments —(1) the extensive COVID-related vaccination program in New York State and around the nation, and (2) the recent change in New York State’s quarantine policy for interstate travelers — have necessitated amendment of several Unified Court System protocols addressing access to court facilities by UCS personnel and the public. Part I of this memorandum will briefly summarize those changes; Part II will restate our updated safety and operational protocols in greater detail. This memorandum supersedes the memorandum of May 15, 2020.
COVID Updated Safety and Operational Protocols
New York’s vaccination program continues its remarkable progress. To date, close to 3 million New Yorkers are fully vaccinated, and an additional 2.5 million have received the first of a 2-dose injection; effective today, all persons aged 30 years or older, and many others in a range of special categories (including all UCS judicial and nonjudicial personnel), are eligible to receive the vaccine. Notwithstanding this progress, the vaccination program is still in an early stage; the impact of the pandemic upon court operations remains severe; and at present, the practical consequence of vaccination in allowing access to court facilities is limited.
Recently, however, the CDC announced that (1) fully vaccinated persons and (2) persons who have themselves recovered from a COVID infection in the last 3 months will no longer be required to quarantine following a close contact exposure to someone with COVID. As a result, court personnel and court visitors who can demonstrate that they fall under one of these two exceptions will be permitted to enter court facilities notwithstanding a recent close contact exposure.
