Harvey Weinstein says the COVID-19 pandemic is complicating his legal matters and he needs an extension in one case.
In fact, Weinstein's attorney says he wouldn't even confirm a COVID-19 diagnosis to opposing counsel out of respect for his privacy rights. However, TMZ has confirmed he's one of 2 inmates to test positive at Wende Correctional Facility in New York.
Even more interesting -- the legal doc refers to Weinstein as an"at-risk individual" and argues the events of the last month have been a"perfect storm" for him ... and the coronavirus pandemic as a whole, warrants an extension of a deadline in his civil case to May 15.
