A second construction worker helping finish the Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium has tested positive for the coronavirus after falling ill Thursday.
The latest confirmed case comes nearly two weeks after the first recorded instance of someone on the job site contracting COVID-19. Both individuals have been instructed not to return to work until medically cleared to do so following self-isolation, according to Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Mortenson-McCarthy, the firm hired to oversee construction of Allegiant Stadium, had previously announced social-distancing guidelines for its workers that included increased sanitation stations throughout the site, smaller groups working together at a time, staggered shift start times and directing employees who feel sick to stay home.
