up to offer support to those affected, including
administrative and government lobbying
assistance. There have also been specific health

of credit still exist through commercial real estate
investment brokers which means that, when the
pandemic is over, it is likely that it will be entirely
possible for the sector to pick up once again. As
frightening as it can all be, there are always things
that can be done to make life easier.
The long term impact
Another piece of positive news is that many
governments have committed to putting
construction and infrastructure at the very
forefront of their agenda during the period of
recovery from the pandemic. The truth is that
government support for the construction industry
is going to be essential in order to help it recover
from the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and
resulting lockdown have had on it.
The reality is that there is a good chance that the
impact of COVID-19 going to be felt by a great
number of different industries well after the actual
pandemic itself has passed by. It’s certainly not easy
to say exactly what the lasting effects are going to
be but the most important thing right now is for
those within the sector, both large and small, to
make sure that they are doing everything they can
to prepare and do whatever they can to mitigate
any possible damage.
