Starting today, workers will begin returning to New York City’s construction sites after a months-long coronavirus moratorium.
Between 200,000 and 400,000 people are expected to return to work as New York City enters Phase I of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s reopening plan. Much of the rest of the state has already entered Phase II or will do so this week.
Since the end of March, only construction services deemed essential have been allowed to move forward as the city battled one of the world’s biggest and deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks.
