CALGARY – Alberta courthouses are preparing for disruptions with the number of COVID-19 cases expected to grow.

The Court of Queen’s Bench says members of the public should avoid attending court proceedings if they are sick.

Lawyers are encouraged to stay in touch with clients and witnesses to make sure they are well enough to come to court.

Anyone who is ill, in self-isolation or quarantine may be able to take part in court hearings by telephone.
