I can't speak for the whole government, but those in Washington have been reporting to work, and both of my sisters, who work for the Army, in Maryland (Aberdeen) have had to work remotely at home since they closed the bases, after there were outbreaks of COVID). I don't see any reason they should not get paid since the work hasn't stopped. One of my sisters has been called back to work in the office. They are in phase 1 so they have a handful of workers there every day, on alternating days.
I see no reason why people who are working remotely, government or not shoudn't get paid. The technology is there; they have to log in and out every day, and there are deadlines for work. And they meet using Zoon.
