It’s been roughly seven months since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. While we’ve all tried to stay informed, sometimes the information is conflicting or confusing. Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Rosemary K. Sokas of the Georgetown University School of Medicine and Dr. Melissa A. McDiarmid of the University of Maryland School of Medicine about what’s been learned during this period about the disease, how it spreads, and prevention. Eileen Betit of CPWR will also introduce a new free planning tool for construction employers to help them develop a COVID-19 exposure control plan for their job sites.
