Most Hanford workers to stay home over coronavirus concerns. No word on for how long

Thousands of Hanford workers will stay home Monday after the Department of Energy announced the site was going into a temporary planning status to ensure the safety of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Only workers essential to the nuclear reservation’s safety and security should report to work, unless they receive a call from their supervisor saying they are needed for planning work, DOE said on Sunday evening.

Hanford employs about 9,300 workers, plus some additional subcontractor employees.

The instructions to stay home unless contacted by a supervisor applies to all federal, contractor, subcontractor and union craft employees, DOE said.
