The construction sector generally gets a greenlight to operate as usual because it is broadly considered to be an essential service, but output may be affected as contractors do what they can to minimize the COVID-19 virus risk among their workforce. Cities like Boston have also specifically asked that construction projects stop to contain the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus.
