In this video, Jenn Nawada shares that landscape trucks used color coded tools assigned to each worker to limit cross contamination. Mark McCullough explains that all the trades faced shortages in materials from transportation and factories all getting hit by COVID. If a worker tested positive for the disease, it could cause shutdowns for two weeks; halting everything down the line of production.
