Citing concerns about the new coronavirus, officials with the Hamilton County General Sessions Court have announced that all non-essential court cases will be put on hold for now, the Hamilton County Herald reports. The court stated: "For the next several weeks, we will hear only cases that affect incarcerated individuals or as are otherwise necessary. Defendants who are on bond, including traffic cases, alleged victims and witnesses will be notified of the new court date …" The court also said it is implementing “enhanced health safety measures” such as disinfecting procedures and social distance practices. East Ridge Municipal Court said it would soon follow suit on these same measures.
