COVID-19 exposure leads to limited court operations in Clear Creek County

A Deputy District Attorney working in the Clear Creek County Courthouse in Georgetown has tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantined beginning Monday, Oct. 5, 2020. As a result, Chief Judge Mark Thompson, in collaboration with Clear Creek County Department of Public Health, has decided to limit court operations to essential functions until Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020.

The Deputy District Attorney worked a criminal docket on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, in Clear Creek County Court. After notifying Clear Creek County Department of Public Health Deputy Medical Director Tim Ryan about the exposure, the Court was instructed to notify all individuals in the courtroom where the Deputy District Attorney was present to quarantine for 14 days from Sept. 29, 2020.

“We are working closely with the Department of Health and District Attorney’s Office to gather additional information and to make these contact tracing notifications,” Chief Judge Mark Thompson said. “To do so most effectively, and in the interest of public safety, all jury trials and most other in-person hearings are now postponed until further notice.”
