The U.S. Supreme Court has announced that it is closing to the public beginning today at 4:30 p.m. until further notice, Bloomberg News reports. All public lectures and visitor programs also are temporarily suspended. However, the building will remain open for official business and case filing deadlines have not been extended. The court, which is scheduled to hear arguments next on March 23, said it was taking the step, “out of concern for the health and safety of the public and Supreme Court employees.”
