The Tennessee Supreme Court issued a mandatory mask order Thursday evening for all courthouses and court clerks offices in the state.

According to a release from the court, the mandate will go into effect on Monday, July 13.

“On March 13, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chief of Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court declared a state of emergency of the Judicial Branch of Tennessee Government and activated a Continuity of Operations Plan for the courts of Tennessee,” the release reads.

The order is allowing for in-person court proceedings to be relaxed as long as masks or face coverings are worn by those in the courtroom at all times.
