COVID-19 cases are going up once again — and it seems it’s also spreading through the court system in South Florida. NBC 6’s Claudia DoCampo reports on how many employees and inmates have gotten infected since the courts reopened.
In-person trials and hearings will resume in Miami-Dade County on Monday after a moratorium comes to an end.
The moratorium, enacted in response to the COVID-19 virus, ends Friday and will not be renewed based on the declining transmission rate in the county.
Remote court proceedings will still be permitted and masks will be required in all Miami-Dade courthouses, a news release from the 11th Judicial Circuit said.
Questions regarding specific cases and operations should be directed to the presiding judge.
