6 judges in quarantine after court employees test positive for COVID-19

The judges and staffers, who represent various districts within family court, will be placed on self-quarantine until July 29.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Six family court judges and some of their staff members have been placed in quarantine after exposure to Jefferson County Courthouse workers who recently tested positive for COVID-19, according to an email sent to courthouse staff.

The email said all judges preside in the Jefferson Family court.

While some hearings will still take place remotely, domestic violence and dependency cases have been canceled because it's difficult to do those remotely, according to the email.

The 14-day quarantine period ends after Wednesday, July 29 as long as there aren't any additional cases reported.
