New Delhi: India’s soaring COVID-19 crisis seems to have hit the Supreme Court with up to half of its staff testing positive for the deadly virus.
According to NDTV’s sources, the hearings will be held via video conferencing from home. The entire court premise, including courtrooms, is now under sanitisation drive. The different benches will now sit an hour later than their scheduled time.
“Most of my staff and law clerks have tested positive,” one of the judges told the national television channel. Few judges had tested positive for COVID earlier but recovered subsequently.
