Our Need for Continued Vigilance on (and away from) Construction Sites to Stop the Spread of COVID-19

We offer our continued and sincere gratitude to all IBEW and ECAO members for all you have done to this point in our continuing fight against COVID-19! Your commitment, diligence, and awareness have been an inspiration to our industry, other sectors, and Ontario!

Maintain Physical Distance. The pandemic isn’t over.

Wear a Mask. The pandemic isn’t over.

Wash your Hands Often. The pandemic isn’t over.

Do Not Relax. The pandemic isn’t over.

We are all still battling COVID-19. So, while construction has, thus far, performed well; please continue your tremendous efforts to curb the spread.

Stay vigilant, stay safe, and stay well.

Take care of others and take care of yourself.
