Subject: [NASA HQ News] March 19 Administrator Statement on Agency Response
to Coronavirus
March 19, 2020
RELEASE 20-030
March 19 Administrator Statement on Agency Response to Coronavirus
The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine:
NASA leadership is determined to make the health and safety of its
workforce its top priority as we navigate the coronavirus (COVID-19)
situation. To that end, the agencys Michoud Assembly Facility and Stennis
Space Center are moving to Stage 4 of the NASA Response Framework
<https://nasapeople.nasa.gov/coronavirus/nasa_response_framework.pdf> ,
effective Friday, March 20.
The change at Stennis was made due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases
in the community around the center, the number of self-isolation cases
within our workforce there, and one confirmed case among our Stennis team.
While there are no confirmed cases at Michoud, the facility is moving to
Stage 4 due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the local area, in
accordance with local and federal guidelines.
Mandatory telework is in effect for NASA personnel at both facilities until
further notice. Additionally, all travel is suspended. These measures are
being taken to help slow the transmission of COVID-19 and protect our
communities.
Access to Stennis and Michoud will be limited to personnel required to
maintain the safety and security of the center, as approved by agency
leadership and the resident agencies. All previously approved exceptions for
onsite work are rescinded and new approvals will be required in order to
gain access to the center.
NASA will temporarily suspend production and testing of Space Launch System
and Orion hardware. The NASA and contractors teams will complete an orderly
shutdown that puts all hardware in a safe condition until work can resume.
Once this is complete, personnel allowed onsite will be limited to those
needed to protect life and critical infrastructure.
We realize there will be impacts to NASA missions, but as our teams work to
analyze the full picture and reduce risks we understand that our top
priority is the health and safety of the NASA workforce.
I ask all members of the NASA workforce to stay in close contact with your
supervisor and check the NASA People
<https://nasapeople.nasa.gov/coronavirus/> website regularly for updates.
Also, in these difficult times, do not hesitate to reach out to the NASA
Employee Assistance Program
<https://www.nasa.gov/offices/ochmo/divisions/health_medsys/eap_info.html> ,
if needed.
I will continue to say, so none of us forget there is no team better
prepared for doing hard things. Take care of yourself, your family, and your
NASA team.
