“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community. Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.”
– Cesar Chavez
Face coverings required in Coconino County Court buildings/Revestimientos faciales requeridos en los edificios del Tribunal del Condado de Coconino
Beginning June 1, 2020, face coverings will be required in all Coconino County Court buildings.
Presiding Judge Dan Slayton is authorized to take the steps needed to ensure access to justice while reducing exposure to the spread of COVID-19.
Coconino County Courts do not have funds to provide face coverings for all who enter the courts. As a result, customers without face coverings may be turned away and parties who are denied entry may need to appear remotely at a court proceeding or make other arrangements. “By requiring everyone to wear masks or face coverings, we hope we are doing our part in helping to reduce or prevent the spread of COVID-19,” stated Presiding Judge Dan Slayton.
As Coconino County Courts expands in-person business, staff and the public will be required to wear personal protective equipment in certain situations. The court will also require screenings for illness. For public safety, Arizona’s courts are authorized to prohibit entry to court buildings by those who do not meet the screening requirements. People unable to wear face coverings due to a medical condition will be provided contact information to arrange to conduct business via phone or email. When the public is not permitted to attend a public court proceeding, the court will provide video or audio access, unless the proceedings are closed, meaning not open to the public.

A partir del 1 de junio de 2020, se necesitarán revestimientos para la cara en todos los edificios del Tribunal del Condado de Coconino.
El Juez Presidente Dan Slayton está autorizado a tomar las medidas necesarias para asegurar el acceso a la justicia, al tiempo que reduce la exposición a la propagación del COVID-19.
Los tribunales del Condado de Coconino no tienen fondos para proporcionar cubiertas para la cara para todos los que entran en los tribunales. Como resultado, los clientes sin revestimientos para la cara pueden ser rechazados y las partes a las que se les niega la entrada pueden tener que comparecer a distancia en un procedimiento judicial o hacer otros arreglos. “al exigir que todos usen máscaras o revestimientos para la cara, esperamos que estemos haciendo nuestra parte para ayudar a reducir o prevenir la propagación del COVID-19”, declaró el Juez Presidente Dan Slayton.
A medida que los tribunales del condado de Coconino expandan sus negocios en persona, el personal y el público estarán obligados a usar equipo de protección personal en ciertas situaciones. La corte también requerirá exámenes de detección de enfermedades. Para la seguridad pública, los tribunales de Arizona están autorizados a prohibir la entrada a los edificios de los tribunales por aquellos que no cumplan con los requisitos de la revisión. Las personas que no puedan usar cubiertas para la cara debido a una condición médica recibirán información de contacto para organizar la realización de negocios por teléfono o correo electrónico. Cuando el público no está autorizado a asistir a un procedimiento público, el tribunal proporcionará acceso de vídeo o audio, a menos que el procedimiento esté cerrado, lo que significa que no está abierto al público.
