Alpharetta Municipal Court Closed This Week From Coronavirus Case

ALPHARETTA, GA — The Alpharetta Municipal Court has canceled all hearings scheduled for this week as employees quarantine following an employee being confirmed to have contracted COVID-19. The infected employee works in an area of the court in which she does not interact with members of the public.

Offices of the Alpharetta Municipal Court have been immediately closed.

Per the City of Alpharetta’s policies and protocols, all Alpharetta Municipal Court employees who were exposed to the infected employee will quarantine at home for 14 days.

“Fortunately, we had only three dates remaining this year during which court was to be in session, so we can easily reschedule those hearings,” said Brooke Lappin, the Director of Alpharetta Municipal Court Services. “It is still an inconvenience to those impacted, but our primary concern must always be ensuring the safety of the public and those working in the court.”

Because some court employees were on vacation and not exposed to the infected employee, the offices of the Alpharetta Municipal Court will reopen for telephone and online services on Monday. There will not, however, be sufficient staff available to run hearings or operate the office for in-person service.
