COVID-19 Update

Given the ongoing coronavirus threat, US federal guidance, and policies issued by the Chilean Government, NSF's NOIRLab mountain and base facilities will remain closed through at least 30 April 2020. Until further notice, all staff are required to continue teleworking, and telescopes are not conducting science operations. As we plan ahead for our operational state in the weeks and months to come, we are continuously monitoring the virus threat level, federal guidance, and school closures.These measures are being taken out of precaution: no COVID-19 case has been confirmed at any of the NOIRLab-sites.
