Refugee Hearing Postponed due to COVID-19

[Sphinx13]

Hi I just saw this message on IRB website !
"Effective Tuesday March 17, 2020, all IRB in person hearings and mediations, other than detention reviews, will be postponed until further notice. https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/news/2020/Pages/covid19-advisory-notice.aspx "

Does this also include refugee hearings that were going to be on a video call ?

Yes - assume this will apply to all hearings. People are not going to be at work.

I'm just confused that they used the word "In-person" . Maybe I have to call them tomorrow to confirm it.

If you are meeting with a person it will be cancelled.
