Masks will no longer be required at Idaho courthouses

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - The Idaho Supreme Court is issuing updated guidelines for COVID-19 precautions in Idaho's courts.

They include revised procedures for court hearings and access to courthouses across the state.

The new guidelines mean the following:

  • Hearings are no longer presumed to be held remotely through videoconferencing or other means
  • People accessing an Idaho courthouse are not required to wear a mask, but the court strongly encourages them
  • Jury trials and grand jury proceedings may still be postponed if local COVID-19 incident rates cross a certain threshold
