(1) Where the judge directs the jury under section 975 to view any such place, thing or person, the judge shall give such further directions as may be appropriate for the purpose of preventing undue communication with the jurors.
(2) No breach of any such directions shall affect the validity of the proceedings.
(3) Where a breach of any such directions is discovered before the verdict is given, the judge may, if he or she is of the opinion that such breach is likely to prejudice the fair trial of the charge, discharge the jury and direct that a fresh jury be sworn during the same sitting, or may adjourn the trial.
