Your concern is legitimate and needs to be addressed.
There should be a plan. However, the Constitution also allows the defendant to choose between a jury trial and a trial by a judge.
With the abilities we have now to communicate electronically, including face to face communications, there is no real reason to change our laws.
During a nationwide or local curfew, judges can hold hearings electronically communicating with the prosecution and defense and set bail where appropriate.
Problem solved without damaging our constitutional rights.
“I think this is due to courts being closed during the lock down. Rather than releasing violet offenders, they will be held without arraignment until the courts reopen.”

Can’t the bail hearings ect. be done by video conference as many already are instead of granting extraordinary un-constitutional powers to the govt.?
BTY, be mindful that our govt. is run under Emergency Power now as it is. So this power to detain without trial would be in effect 24/7, 365. Not a good idea folks.
