Only if the judge requires you to remain in the courtroom.

The mailbox message is recorded within minutes of the judge’s instructions.

Except in special situations, meals are not provided by the court. Jurors are generally free to leave the building for lunch. You may not take food or beverages into the courtroom. You must not be late returning from lunch at the time specified by the judge or clerk in charge.
