Washington County President Judge John DiSalle issued an administrative order on Wednesday that mandates the wearing of masks when inside the Washington County Courthouse. DiSalle’s order comes on the heels of Washington County having entered into the “substantial” level of transmission risk for COVID-19. DiSalle’s order states that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask inside of the building. His order also states that judicial officers will have the discretion to limit the number of individuals present in a courtroom or judicial facility in order to allow for social distancing. DiSalle also authorized the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to enforce his orders.
