Mandaluyong courts locked down until June 29

Mandaluyong's New Hall of Justice and several courts in Manila are under lockdown until June 29 after a prosecutor tested positive for COVID-19.

The prosecutor visited both locations last week, prompting the Supreme Court to order disinfection of the buildings on Monday.

Judges and personnel have been instructed to self-quarantine; however, court operations will continue via hotlines and email accounts.

Videoconferencing hearings previously scheduled will proceed as planned.
