Officials say staffing shortages drove temporary decision to close public counters and limit courthouse entry
The Santa Clara County Superior Court announced Wednesday, January 12, 2021 that it is closing public counters and restricting courthouse entry through the end of the month because of staffing absences driven by the rapidly spreading omicron variant of COVID-19, joining other Bay Area courts that have also been limiting public access.
