“With the current loosening of restrictions by federal, state and local health officials, HFPA is returning to its usual compliance requirements, but remains sensitive to the potential increase in COVID-19 cases,” said the president of the ‘HFPA Helen Hoen in a statement. “We will be flexible in accessing authority through a combination of personal testimony or sending online screenings or DVDs to our jurors.
