Frankfort, KY - On Monday, the Supreme Court of Kentucky issued an order encouraging anyone entering a judicial center, courthouse or other judicial facility to wear a mask in light of the outbreak of the COVID-19 Delta variant in Kentucky. This order is in line with the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.

The order also states that a chief circuit judge can mandate masks for a judicial facility.

  • Updates list of individuals at high risk for COVID-19, per current CDC guidance;
  • Updates and consolidates the list of quarantine/isolation requirements by referring to current CDC guidance; and
  • Deletes outdated language regarding renewal of expired driver's licenses, permits, and identification cards.


The Supreme Court also issued Administrative Order 2021-28 today. The order replaces Administrative Order 2021-17 and includes these changes:
  • Deletes obsolete language regarding grand juries and show cause dockets;
  • Updates list of individuals at high risk for COVID-19, per current CDC guidance;
