Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the criminal fraud trial of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes will go ahead as scheduled before a socially distanced jury at the federal courthouse in San Jose, with the air filtration cranked to its highest level and other precautions in place, the presiding judge said Wednesday.

“It’s going to be a very different trial, of course, in the COVID timeframe,” Judge Edward Davila said during video proceedings. “We just have to strive for the safety of everyone.”
