Oh dear.
Gubbermints can't tell the difference between "construction" and
"maintenance".
While all these are "essential services", the organizations, themselves,
need to determine what that means for them and their employees from a
health & safety perspective. Falling back on, "Well, the gubbermint
didn't tell us that we should only fix breaks and not build new
projects, so we don't see anything wrong" is reckless.
Ah well.
Mark.
