Over the past few hours and days, states and local governments have issued "shelter in place," "stay at home" and other orders restricting gatherings and non-essential business. Most states and local governments exempt construction from the "stay at home" orders. Other orders exempt certain projects that are classified as "critical infrastructure." Some jurisdictions prohibit construction completely. State orders may conflict with local orders.
With the evolving situation, it is difficult to keep track of where and when construction can continue and when it must stop.
