Shawmut Design and Construction, a Boston-based construction firm with an operation in North Haven, created a technology platform meant to track possible transmission of the COVID-19 virus among employees and contractors. The platform allows employees and contractors to fill out a health survey each day to self report whether they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, according to Shawmut. Those who report experiencing symptoms, or being exposed to an infected person are flagged to Shawmut management who can decide whether that worker can enter a worksite. The pandemic has hit Connecticut’s construction sector unevenly, with some companies affected more negatively than others.
