Coronavirus (COVID-19) Guidance
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan has undertaken measures to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) at its five courthouses in Ann Arbor, Bay City, Detroit, Flint and Port Huron. The changes include suspending naturalization ceremonies until further notice. The measures take effect immediately, and follow the Governor’s March 10 state of emergency declaration.
“Our Court is attempting to do its part in containing the virus affecting our country,” said Chief United States District Judge Denise Page Hood. “We are doing this by limiting the number of large groups that regularly appear in our court while still protecting the constitutional rights of citizens in our community. Our goal is to keep the public and our employees as safe as possible.”
