Juror safety

Regarding the column “Bring back courthouse protocols” (May 5): Earlier this week our daughter attended a jury selection in a downtown Toronto courthouse. There were two large rooms where the potential jurists were placed an appropriate distance apart. All had to be double-vaxxed and most were wearing masks. At no time did she feel at risk. How can two cities in the GTA have such different protocols? Has Hamilton regressed to the point of taking a giant step backwards in the stance against COVID? Victoria Kerr, Binbrook
