Seven staff at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court self-isolate
Seven members of staff at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court are self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS) said it was working with NHS Test and Protect and that those required to isolate are doing so.
A spokesman said: “We are working closely with the local public health teams and they are content with the procedures in place to ensure the safety of all court users.
“We have stringent protocols to follow when a case is identified and are working with Test and Protect to support their requirements. Anyone required to isolate is doing so.
“Business levels are being monitored and sufficient staff are available to ensure business at Kilmarnock this week can continue. Court cases are scheduled to minimise the footfall within the building at any one time.
“All court users are being reminded of the requirement for physical distancing at all times and the wearing of face masks in the court building.
“We encourage frequent handwashing and hand sanitiser is widely available.”
