Updated March 21, 2020 What Construction Work May Continue Following the Bay Area Counties’ Coronavirus Shelter-In-Place Orders?

On March 19, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a stay at home order to protect the health and well-being of all Californians and to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. Everyone is ordered to shelter in place except as needed for essential activities. Essential activities include accessing health care, shopping for groceries and supplies, caring for family members, and exercising outdoors. This Order stays in effect until further notice.
