If everyone says I’m not going to work (if this is against federal advice), it is a fairly self centred decision if there really is low risk. If your work is forcing you to work and you believe it is indeed a risk to your immediate well being, use your “right to refuse”, part 2 of the Canada labour code. They will find out fairy quick if your argument is true. If it’s really not a hazard, then do your part and keep the world spinning.

Where's the emotion? why are offices/schools/public buildings etc all across the country closing but construction sites (honestly with some of the most immune compromised individuals you'll see in the work place) supposed to keep working.
A good majority of those in the construction industry take transit. My wife who is being forced at this point to continue working needs to take transit. So why is the construction industry one of the few needing to "keep the work spinning". I feel for the nurses and doctors. Also those working what i'm sure is hell like grocery stores.
what do you do? are you working from home? doing your part to keep on spinning?
and don't quote the labour code to me and my right to refuse.
as for precautions, you even stepped foot on a site before??? "ok guys, you just touched something dirty, better go wash your hands" what every 2 mins? get real
