Three weeks ago, on a sunny Saturday morning in Sydney, the NSW Government made a surprise announcement: all construction work in Greater Sydney was to close down for two weeks, immediately.
This announcement was due, we were told on the day, to the danger associated with the movement of people between sites and the logistics chain from suppliers to and from multiple suppliers and sites. That said, Chief Medical Officer Dr Kerry Chant made it clear that while the movement of people was the issue, no advice was provided to the Government from NSW Health to completely close the construction industry.
