The Maury County Court System will postpone its first jury orientation since the novel coronavirus took hold of the state in mid-March after two employees of the court tested positive for COVID-19. Circuit Court Judge J. Russ Parkes, who drafted a plan last May to return to in-person court proceedings, confirmed that a staff member at the local district attorney’s office and a court clerk have both been diagnosed with the virus, the Columbia Daily Herald reports. Other employees who have been tested have not yet received test results. Initial jury appearances were to have started this morning at Columbia Central High School.
