The focus was primarily on the economy at Tuesday’s Los Alamos National Laboratory Community Conversation via Zoom. Laboratory Director Thom Mason opened with an update on the Lab’s response to COVID-19.
“We had to be very adaptable in our response to COVID-19,” Mason said. “The Lab is considered an essential service. Seventy percent of our staff is working remotely.”

The Lab is testing personnel working onsite and other employees with concerns they might be infected, Mason said. Although the Lab is on the same trajectory as the surrounding area, in which cases increased over the past month, Mason said that recently, the Lab has seen “a tapering of growth.”
