As I sit in my backyard working on my laptop, I have been reflecting on the future of the office. For so many of us, the office has been our primary workplace since college.

It is the paradox of resilience that the very things that make us strong also can prevent us from being nimble during a crisis.

Since that time, as the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, so too have the various governmental agencies’ responses and plans, including those of NVOSHA.
Amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, long lines outside grocery stores have been the norm in Nevada and across the country — with consumers hustling to get toilet paper, eggs and critical supplies.
