Courthouse Online Screen Tool

11 September 2020: Cobourg Court Services

Please be advised that Cobourg Courthouse will officially re-open to the public on Monday, September 14, 2020. In alignment with this, all staff and stakeholders/public attending our building must complete health screening. The Cobourg Police will be ensuring screening is completed at the front entrance prior to people being admitted and the building will move to a one point of entry and exit. What this means to all users of the building will be required to attend at the front of the building and go through the front entrance both when they arrive and leave this building at any point during the day. No other exit doors can be used to enter or exit.
