 The current health emergency caused by the global spread of COVID-19 has significant implications for the economies and construction markets in which we operate, and we are following the advice and direction of the World Health Organization WHO as well as government and public health authorities across our markets. CRH continues to actively monitor the rapidly evolving situation and an extensive range of business continuity measures are in place across our operations globally. In an effort to slow the spread of the virus, governments around the world have implemented various restrictions on public gatherings, the movement of people and certain business activities.
