Tax Court May Delay Trials as Needed Amid Coronavirus Threat (1)

The U.S. Tax Court is open to rescheduling trials and hearings as needed if individuals required to appear are experiencing flu-like symptoms or have a fever.

The court made the announcement Monday, in response to concerns over the spread of coronavirus.

• Individuals should contact the court before appearing if they “are experiencing any flu like symptoms, have a fever, or are coughing or sneezing,” according to the announcement.
• The court will also limit the number of people allowed in courtrooms. The limit will depend on “the judge’s discretion,” a spokesperson said.
