The United States Supreme Court will remain closed to the public and will conduct its October oral arguments by teleconference as it extended its coronavirus-related restrictions into its new term, Reuters reported quoting a court spokesperson.
“The court will continue to closely monitor public health guidance in determining plans for the November and December argument sessions,” spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
The court's announcement means that members of the public cannot tour the building and lawyers will present their oral arguments by phone instead of in the courtroom itself.
The coming term begins on October 5 and is due to run through June 2021.
