The Court Guards of the Industrial District Court prevented media representatives from attending the court hearings. Despite promises by the judge to allow media workers to attend the hearing, only a few publications were allowed by the Judiciary Guard. The guards based their decision on official order about quarantine regulations, claiming that there was not enough space in the hall for all journalists to provide them with a safe social distance.
