CLERK
U.S. DISTRICT COURT
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF UTAH
IN RE: UPDATED PROTOCOL GENERAL ORDER
REGARDING FACE MASKS AT
THE ORRIN G. HATCH No. 21-010
COURTHOUSE
The Court continues to evaluate its response to the spread of the COVID-19 virus
and recognizes the need to assist in the preservation of public safety and health while
effectively administering justice within the Orrin G. Hatch Courthouses during this period
of national emergency. In recognition of the Centers for Disease Control’s recent
recommendation that all Americans—regardless of vaccination status—wear masks in
indoor public places, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. this Order supersedes General Order 21-008, which allowed vaccinated
individuals to be in public areas of the Orrin G. Hatch Courthouse without wearing a
mask; and
2. effective immediately, an individual entering the Orrin G. Hatch Courthouse
must wear a mask over their nose and mouth in all public areas inside the courthouse.
SO ORDERED this 6th day of August, 2021.
BY THE COURT:
