second wave of COVID-19
On
May 18th ConstructionDive
reported that "although
many
coronavirus-related
shutdown and
stay-at-home orders
are in still in place,
the U.S. is on the
road to loosening
restrictions to keep
the outbreak at bay.

up on others that have
been completely shut
down since the
pandemic began...But
even as the country’s
economy slowly comes
back to life, top
medical experts have
warned that there
could be a second wave
of COVID-19 cases once
more people come into
contact with each
other and in the fall
when colder weather
arrives and the
regular flu season
begins again..So, how
should contractors
prepare for a
potential second round
of COVID-19? Construction
