[quote=Anonymous]“More than a dozen COVID-19 cases have been reported at a residential construction site in Navy Yard, and it’s not the only site with concerns. Fears over the virus spreading further at the renovation of a congressional office building could lead to a shorter workweek at the site to prevent the spread of the virus.”

Unlike NY, NJ, PA and MI which stopped most non-essential construction (ie, other than hospitals and infrastructure), DC deemed all construction activity — including for more high-end condos and commercial space to be “essential.”  Now we’re just beginning to see the cost of cronyism and short term greed in the District.  This outbreak is at just one site which is managed by a large, long-established construction company that probably has more experience and resources than smaller firms to ensure safety protocols are implanted.  But social distancing is nearly impossible to do in construction.
