Despite a statewide stay-at-home-order that deems construction as “essential” work, confusion continues across California as contractors, owners and construction workers look for government guidance on how to interpret vague and varying language from the state and its 58 counties and 480 cities.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s March 19 stay-at-home order mandates that all California residents stay home, except for persons working on 16 essential critical infrastructure types, as identified by the federal government, including communications, chemicals, dams, energy, transportation systems and water, among others.
