This is his speech

“Construction work can resume safely in this new COVID-19 environment so we are going to introduce new measures that cover the end-to-end precautions from accommodations to the transportation of workers and down to the worksites.”

“Even if a transmission what will happen in the worksite it will not go back to multiple dormitories, it will be contained we are also going to ensure that there is minimal mixing of workers communal activities”
