DALTON, Georgia (WDEF) – Dalton’s Municipal Court will begin in-person proceedings on Wednesday.

Today Judge Robert Cowan signed an order on how it will happen.

— 20 person limit in court

— only defendants and attorneys, no families (people with childcare issues must contact the court- minors can have one parent or guardian)

— everyone must wear a face mask

— everyone entering the building will have their temperature taken and be asked health questions

— defendants will be given an estimated time for their proceeding and may be asked to wait in their car if court capacity is reached
