QC Mayor Belmonte orders Hall of Justice main building, annex closed due to Covid-19 cases

THE Quezon City’s Hall of Justice (HoJ) building and its annex were ordered closed by the local government for a week after four court officers and employees tested positive for the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Working from home after being tested positive for the disease herself, Mayor Josefina "Joy" Belmonte formally informed through a letter to Regional Trial Court Executive Judge Cecilyn Burgos-Villavert and Metropolitan Trial Court Executive Judge Ace Alagar of her decision based on the advice of the City Epidemiological and Disease Surveillance Unit (CESU) of the need for "urgent action to prevent an outbreak".
