No additional information about the attorney or possible exposure was revealed.

Anyone who worked or appeared at 36th District Court on March 16 should contact a doctor and follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocol regarding exposure.

Officials at 36th District Court say they have created a coronavirus contingency plan and taken steps to address the threat.
