Firms make plans for sickness and supplies

摘要

Construction firms have begun putting contingency plans in place as the number of cases of coronavirus in the UK continues to rise. More than 300 cases have been reported in the UK and this week England's chief medical officer, professor Chris Whitty, said that anyone with a cold, flu or a fever is likely to soon be asked to stay at home in self-isolation. A spokesperson for Sisk, building a 42-storey residential tower in Birmingham for developer Moda Living, said: "We have restricted non-essential travel for staff, raised awareness about hand hygiene, provided hand sanitising gels and introduced practical proactive measures such as increased cleaning frequencies in our offices and site facilities."
