Connecticut attorney Jay Ruane is angry and scared that—with the coronavirus still in the forefront of everyone’s lives—he and other counsel from Ruane Attorneys at Law in Shelton have to go to court and be at risk.

Ruane, 48, said he’s overweight, has a heart condition and hypertension. He contracted COVID-19 last year, and fears more fallout. He says he has no choice but to send his employees to the courthouse, instead of going himself, something he said that makes him feel bad.
