In a statement to KENS 5, Calvert said: "At the present time, the court has changed our formation in the courtroom spreading desks six feet apart. We have the ability to have a member of the court participate in a remote location, but the address has to be listed on the agenda that is posted. We may have to look at state rules/law with respect to additional flexibility for some members to meet remotely but so far we have some ability to do so."
He also addressed others he works with and shared that other Commissioner Court members and staff have been offered tests.
"It is my understanding that all of the tests came up negative," he said.
