Construction industry officials in Washington state are working with Gov. Jay Inslee (D) to allow projects to resume under his Stay Home, Stay Healthy order that now has been extended until at least May 31.

在5月1日的新闻发布会上,slee said the state will allow new projects to begin construction in phase two of a four-phased approach to ease the March 23 lockdown, but that phase won’t come until early June at the earliest.

On April 24, Inslee allowed low-risk existing construction to resume before the end of the state’s stay-at-home order under a 31-point COVID-19 prevention plan.

这是华盛顿任何行业限制的第一个重大限制，建筑官员早期与Inslee合作制定了特定的Covid-19重新开放计划。

The phase-two plan allows new construction with “all the appropriate health restrictions,” along with other business resumption, such as restaurants in half-capacity, car dealerships, and barbershops and salons.

Inslee的第二阶段还允许五个或更少的小组聚会，预计在第三阶段将上升到50阶段。

The governor gave 10 Washington counties more autonomy to determine if they could move to phase two sooner. “Some counties with lower numbers of cases and deaths, if they have enough PPE and hospital capacity, we can allow them to move sooner to phase two,” he says. Those 10 counties combined represent less than 3% of the state population.

Inslee指出，建筑重新开放是全州行业如何重新开放的模型。

他谈到四月的建筑计划时说：“我们与商业领袖，建筑商和工会合作。”
