Concern over the COVID-19 virus at the Criminal Justice Complex in Jackson has led to closure of the Circuit Court Clerk's office and suspension of all in-person hearings, including those involving inmates. A memo from Circuit Court Judge Roy B. Morgan Jr. says that hearings will be suspended until the Madison County Sheriff’s Office can develop a plan to “manage the situation.” The move comes two days after the sheriff confirmed two employees at the justice complex tested positive for COVID-19. That number increased to three yesterday, the Jackson Sun reports.
