As we prepare to enjoy Fourth of July week and upcoming celebrations in our beautiful Iowa Great Lakes region, we wish to remind you that Independence Day is founded on sacrifices, which includes a history of Americans giving up personal comforts to enhance wellbeing for all.

The public health and emergency management teams of Clay and Dickinson counties are teaming up to ask you to make just a few simple adjustments in your holiday weekend plans to help protect the health of our communities. Together, we can make a difference in minimizing the continued spread of COVID-19 locally.

Beginning Wednesday, June 3, the Dickinson County Courthouse will be open by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Anyone needing to visit the Courthouse must make an appointment ahead of time with the appropriate office. Upon arrival, visitors will have their temperature checked and will be asked a series of questions. If a visitor has a temperature over 100° at the time of the appointment, or have had any of the following symptoms within the past two weeks, they will be denied entry into the Courthouse:

• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Fever of 100° or higher
• Sore throat
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Chills or repeated shaking with chills
• Unexplained onset of muscle pain
• New loss of taste or smell

Visitors will be required to wear a mask while inside the Courthouse and we urge everyone to bring their own.

REMINDER: The white drop box at the west entrance is still available to drop of payments, forms, etc. for all offices inside the Courthouse. Also, many services may be completed online. Contact the appropriate office if you have questions.
