COURT cases at Bradford Crown Court are being affected today due to Covid-19.
A number of cases, where the defendant is due to appear in court in person, are having to be re-listed.
As a case was due to be heard this afternoon, Recorder Simon Goldberg told the court that it's understood there is a Covid-19 outbreak in the cells and they have had to be closed.
The court is only able to hear cases for defendants who are appearing by video link.
A HM Courts and Tribunals Service spokesperson said: “We have taken precautions in line with public health guidelines to keep everyone safe, including deep cleaning affected areas, following a small number of Covid-19 cases.”
