People attending the Shepparton County Court no longer have to undertake a COVID-19 rapid antigen test before entering the court building.

The change started on Monday, October 17.

Before then, all legal practitioners and other court users, including those on the jury, had to undergo mandatory surveillance rapid testing before entering any County Courts throughout Victoria.

Under the new change, legal practitioners and other court users are not to attend court if they are symptomatic or if they have tested positive to COVID-19, until they return a negative rapid antigen test.

Masks will continue to be worn inside the court building.
