LITTLE ROCK - One of Arkansas largest courthouses is set to reopen to the public after access to it was limited due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Pulaski County Courthouse in Little Rock was scheduled to reopen on Monday.
Restrictions on entry into all county facilities by the public have been lifted.
All visitors will be required to wear a facemask and have their temperature checked upon entry. Social distancing will also be mandatory in all areas of the courthouse.
"We appreciate the support and patience of Pulaski County citizens with our temporary operational area during the last 15 months. It wasn't ideal, but my office was determined to remain open for business and provide the essential services. We look forward to serving the public inside the various offices once again," said Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk Terri Hollingsworth.
Coronavirus cases in the state rose by 253 on Friday while those hospitalized dropped by two to 178, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Saturday.
"While we are seeing hopeful COVID-19 progress, let's continue this trend by ensuring we all play a role in protecting others," Gov. Asa Hutchinson tweeted on Thursday.
