Miami-Dade Courthouses Will Reopen To The Public On June 28. Masks Won’t Be Required
Updated Thursday at 5:55 a.m.
More than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the widespread closures of public buildings, Miami-Dade courthouses will reopen on June 28.
Miami-Dade’s chief judge made the announcement Wednesday evening, two weeks after the Florida Supreme Court announced it was allowing courts to lift social distancing and mask mandates. Almost half the state’s population has been vaccinated against COVID-19 and the number of infections has been steadily declining.
In Miami-Dade, 1.57 million people have received vaccinations, according to federal data, or about 58 percent of the county.
