New Polk County Courthouse
Protocol
Beginning on Monday May 4th some safety protocols will be relaxed while visiting the courthouse.
Each elected official’s office may handle things differently.
The recommendation from Polk County Judge Brandon Ellison includes unlocked doors, limiting the number of patrons at one time, diligent sanitizing, masks when appropriate, and encouraging on-line or telephone business when possible. For the protection of everyone, we are still encouraging citizens to conduct county business on-line and by telephone when possible, to limit traffic in the courthouse. We also encourage the use of face masks when visiting. Be safe, stay healthy, be kind, and think of others.
MRHS Mask Requirement
For the protection of our patients, their families, visitors and staff, beginning Monday, May 4, anyone entering Mena Regional Health System must wear a face covering.
We want to clarify, N95 and surgical masks are critical supplies that must be reserved for healthcare workers and first responders ONLY, as recommended by the current CDC guidance.
