Mace is to continue to suspend activity on its construction sites until 31 March, following an initial 48-hour closure while it works out how to implement coronavirus safety measures.
The government has issued guidance that construction firms are permitted to carry on working as long as Public Health England guidance is followed at all times.
The group’s chief executive Mark Reynolds said: “We are still currently exploring measures that may allow us to operate a number of sites while adhering to the CLC’s Standard Operating Procedures. In particular, we are reviewing the impact on public transport networks in London and are considering what alternative travel arrangements can be introduced. As a result, we have decided to extend our temporary site suspension until at least 08:00 on Tuesday 31 March while our review continues. As such, no construction work, other than safety critical work or activities required to protect or secure construction projects, will take place for the remainder of this week and Monday.”
