Georgia and Florida just became the latest states to issue “shelter in place” or “stay at home” orders during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in an attempt to flatten the curve and help protect the most at-risk residents from contracting the virus.
We’ve recently taken a look at how construction bidding and jobsite activity is being impacted by these orders. To date, only a handful of states including New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania along with some cities and municipalities have issued construction work to shut down almost all active jobsites. For the rest of the country, construction to some extent has been deemed essential work that can continue.
