Radonova update in regards to COVID-19

Radonova has taken a number of measures to ensure procedures carry on as normal during the COVID-19 pandemic. We, like other organizations, are affected by the seriousness of the situation but will continue to conduct measurements and deliveries without interruption. Our customer support is open as usual and accessible to those who have radon-related questions.  In order to minimize the spread of infection, a large number of our employees currently work from home. Employees working in our laboratory who provide services which cannot be performed from home are completely focused on reducing the risk of exposure and spread of the virus.
