People line up outside a club to be screened for the coronavirus ahead of a music concert in Barcelona, Spain, Saturday, March 27, 2021. Five thousand music lovers are set to attend a rock concert in Barcelona on Saturday after passing a same-day COVID-19 screening to test its effectiveness in preventing outbreaks of the virus at large cultural events. The show by Spanish rock group Love of Lesbian has the special permission of Spanish health authorities. While the rest of the country is limited to gatherings of no more than four people in closed spaces, the concertgoers will be able to mix freely while wearing face masks. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)

MADERA, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – An update to state rules means anyone wanting to go into Madera County Superior Court will no longer be asked COVID-19 screening questions, starting next month.

The update from the Madera County Superior Court issued on Wednesday states that visitors, including court users, attorneys, and justice partners entering the courthouse will no longer be required to answer screening questions about the presence of symptoms related to COVID-19.

The new rule at Madera County Superior Court is set to become effective on April 3.

The change follows the State of California’s decision to end its coronavirus state of emergency at the end of last month.
