District court sittings in Kerry have been cancelled for a number of days, and members of the legal and Garda professions may be asked to restrict movements or self-isolate, after a garda who was in court in Tralee found out he had tested positive for Covid-19.

The incident shortly before lunch led to the immediate closure of the weekly district court in Tralee and the adjournment of a number of cases.
