MUSKEGON, Mich. — After a five-week downward trend in COVID-19 cases in Muskegon County, the Muskegon County Courts is ready to resume in-person business and resume jury trials.

The Muskegon County Courts has worked closely with the MDHHS to make sure resuming in-person activity was safe.

Prior to entering the courthouse, everyone is encouraged to monitor themselves for any signs of illness. Though strongly encouraged, masks or face coverings will no longer be required for entry.

However, jurors and those reporting for jury duty will still be required to wear a mask in jury assembly areas.
