Mandaluyong Hall of Justice, Manila courts on lockdown after prosecutor tests positive for COVID-19

Mandaluyong's New Hall of Justice and a building housing several courts in Manila are on lockdown until June 29 due to a prosecutor testing positive for COVID-19.

The prosecutor had visited both the Mandaluyong Hall of Justice and the Old Ombudsman Building in Manila last week.

Disinfection of the Mandaluyong justice hall was conducted on June 13, while the Old Ombudsman Building in Manila was scheduled for disinfection on Monday.

All judges and personnel from the Regional Trial Courts (RTC) and Metropolitan MTCs in both locations are required to self-quarantine.

Court operations will continue remotely via hotlines and judiciary email accounts during the lockdown period.

Previously scheduled video conferencing hearings will proceed as planned in both locations.
