I would expect that "go teams" are on call for on-scene investigations of any major accidents which might occur, but with a severely reduced availability of support and administrative staff. That's just my guess though. As for any continuing work on in-process investigations, I doubt it. As well, any accidents which don't meet the threshold to be termed "major investigations" may be relegated to local authorities for preservation until such time as a field investigator becomes available.
The breaking news right now is that the President has signed a bill to suspend the partial government shutdown for three weeks. How long it will take for NTSB to resume normal operations is unknown, but it's probably reasonable to expect a normal compliment of staff to show up for work on Monday?
