CHARLESTON – Someone who attended an event last week at the state Supreme Court chambers has tested positive for COVID-19, but it wasn’t any court employee who works at the Capitol.
On December 15, current Chief Justice Tim Armstead was sworn in for a new 12-year term after having retained the seat in this spring’s non-partisan election. According to press releases from the court, the number of people who attended the ceremony was limited because of Coronavirus concerns, and those who did attend followed social distancing and masking guidelines.
