Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas judges have voted to postpone all jury trials for at least one month because of the high numbers of COVID-19 cases in the county, the court has announced.

The decision comes as cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus continue to remain at record levels throughout the state, marking the second time that the county courts have delayed jury trials during the pandemic.
