Operative words
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center remains open. Employees who can telework are being encouraged to do so.... Out of an abundance of caution, Goddard has canceled all non-mission-essential visits to its facilities. Goddard also is closing its Visitor Centers at Greenbelt and at Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, beginning Friday, March 13, as a means to be protective and encourage [social distancing].
