Unsurprisingly, Crossrail construction


Being in Central London, a high risk area, doesn't help.

has been halted:

And, apparently, HS2.


Have they issued advice on building sites in general yet? Although of
course a lot of HS2 work - even engineering - takes place in offices,
but maybe they've taken their CAD systems home by now..

Apparently Boris has said it is OK to keep going to work on building
sites -

and was almost immediately contradicted.

Various companies have taken various views but I can't see social
distancing being achieveable on anything other than a small site
staffed by a man and his dog[TM] or maybe by the odd few who can
operate as a family-sized group with only minimal necessary contact
with others.
