WY71769 New Coroners Court Beacs
12.11.12
Ann Priest
INQUESTS scheduled to take place at Gwent Coroners Court in the coming weeks are being adjourned until later in the year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
While a small number of short inquests may still take place, they will be few and far between and very short.
In a statement, the Coroner's Office said: "Families will not be attending, there will be no witnesses and to adhere to social distancing guidelines the main court will not be open."
