The CDC and USDA inspect our research labs annually in person for safety. Last year because of COVID they did not come in person, they did online inspection of our safety SOPs and other things. This was the first time in their history they did not inspect any labs in person, because their agencies would not allow them to travel due to muh COVID. This year they will resume in person inspections, but they are not allowed to begin travelling until September. Virtually all of them have been working from home for more than a year now.
