The City of Stone Mountain has suspended in-person access to its Municipal Court for two weeks after learning that someone who attended court on Thursday, Jan. 14, tested positive for COVID-19.
The city says it will conduct a deep cleaning of City Hall and notify defendants of their rescheduled court dates by mail.
The room used for court proceedings, which is also normally used for City Council meetings and other purposes, will remain closed to the public through Jan. 29. No court sessions or case hearings will be held.
Anyone who attended Stone Mountain Municipal Court sessions on Jan. 14 was potentially exposed to the virus, City Manager ChaQuias Thornton said in a statement.
