Worcester Court Closing Due To Coronavirus Infection: DA
The downtown Worcester courthouse will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday due to the infection.
WORCESTER, MA — The main courthouse in Worcester will be closed until Friday after an employee there tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office.
The two-day closure will allow the courthouse, located at 225 Main St., to be disinfected. No business will be conducted at the building on Wednesday and Thursday, according to the DA's office.
This is at least the second time the Worcester court has closed due to coronavirus.
In late March, the Main Street courthouse in Worcester and courts in Dudley and East Brookfield closed after a judge who tested positive for coronavirus visited those buildings.
The Worcester Courthouse will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17, and Thursday, June 18, to all business. A courthouse employee has tested positive for COVID-19. The building will close for a disinfecting cleaning and will reopen on Friday, June 19.
