Court Corona measures to reduce the number of audience seats to about half Supreme Court October 26, 15:31
The Supreme Court has told courts nationwide that it can relax the restriction to about one-half of the measures taken by courts nationwide to reduce the number of seats in the audience to about one-third in order to prevent infection with the new coronavirus. I have notified you.
In order to prevent infection, high courts and district courts nationwide require all parties involved in the trial and listeners to wear masks, and the audience seats should be separated by approximately two seats. We are taking measures to reduce the number of seats to about one-third.
The Supreme Court notified courts nationwide on the 26th that it could relax the restrictions on the audience seats as a result of having an infection control expert visit the court and hear their opinions.
According to this, if you wear a mask in the general audience seat and sit in the same direction without speaking, the risk of infection is low, and the restriction on the audience seat is reduced from about one-third to two minutes. It is said that it can be relaxed to about 1.
In addition, as a measure to prevent flying infections, it is required to wear a mask instead of a face shield.
In the future, courts nationwide will relax restrictions on audience seats.
