Arguments that had been scheduled for the last two weeks of the month are postponed. “The Court will examine the options for rescheduling those cases in due course in light of the developing circumstances.”

The Court postponed scheduled arguments for October 1918 in response to the Spanish flu epidemic. The Court also shortened its argument calendars in August 1793 and August 1798 in response to yellow fever outbreaks.”
