The Madison County Courthouse will be closed for two weeks starting today, the Jackson Sun reports. Those two weeks could be extended indefinitely as both county and city governments work to move all business online amid the COVID-19 outbreak. As part of the closure, any type of business that would normally take place at the courthouse will now be completed via phone call, online or mail. The Chancery Court, which is located in the courthouse, will remain open in a limited capacity. The Tennessee Supreme Court has suspended most in-court proceedings, with some exceptions for emergency situations, until at least April 30.
