Impact of CoronaVirus spread on your Projects

Hello Asif: When I first responded to your question, there were no real impacts yet to my projects. At this point, COVID-19 impacts have changed all my healthcare related projects. I continue to move forward, but the progress is incremental right now with healthcare providers rightly focusing on critical needs. These are unprecedented times.

Hi,
Project Risks are turning into Issues now! Seems like most of the project will be effected in terms of on time delivery and compromise on quality. The more this pandemic stays the more it will hurt the project economy.

We are being encouraged to tele-work, but that does not translate to physical construction, and should our physical location close, there will be an obvious impact to ongoing construction.
I have noted that many people continue to work at our physical locations, but interactions are more likely to be phone or online.
As the situation continues to develop, I am sure there will be additional impacts.

Dear Asif,

An update from my own home country of Ireland as to how Coronavirus/COVID-19 is effected day to day life.

All public places are closed except outlets for food and Chemists.

Drones are being used in parks, beaches and in streets to ensure people are observing social distancing.

People are not allow to leave a two kilometer zone from their house which is being enforced by random and rolling police checkpoints.

People have in increasing numbers started using face masks and scarfs to cover their face in public area.

Daily traffic is none existent while public transport, airports and ports are still operating as per normal.

These relatively extreme conditions are constantly being monitored and increased according to the numbers of new case of the COVID-19 virus confirmed and death toll as a result.

Daire

Great topic. Thanks Asif!
