The spread of the coronavirus continues to impact construction workers at the Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium just off The Strip.
There are now 16 employees who have fallen ill, per Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, more than double the amount there were Tuesday when seven workers had reported ill.
The troubling news comes as the firm overseeing construction, Mortenson-McCarthy, has continued to try to implement worker safety protocols while still trying to finish the building by its targeted August opening.
On March 25, the first worker to contract COVID-19 was reported at the site, with a second employee becoming sick two weeks later in April.
