DC District, Circuit Courts Require Masks

Face masks or coverings are now required at the Prettyman Courthouse and Bryant Annex, said U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Circuit Chief Judge Beryl Howell in an order Monday. Howell said court staff should wear masks or face coverings when in common or public areas of the courthouse and in nonpublic areas where social distancing isn't practical such as corridors and elevators. The courthouse also houses the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
