COVID-19 Virus Response for Jurors

The Court remains committed to keeping jurors, attorneys, staff and all other court users safe and has worked with the Riverside County Public Health Officer to develop protocols designed to protect the health and safety of jurors. These protocols include:

  • calling in jurors only when a case is ready to proceed to trial to reduce the number of jurors reporting at the same time;
  • requesting that prospective jurors complete an online availability form prior to reporting for service in order to minimize the number of jurors reporting to the courtroom for jury selection; and
  • implementing heightened cleaning protocols that include daily sanitation of common and high-traffic areas.

If you receive a summons in the mail, please do not discard it. You may check your status or request a postponement through one of the following options:

DO NOT REPORT FOR JURY SERVICE IF:
(1) You have been diagnosed with or are likely to have COVID-19
