Why is the State keeping the Larvotto construction site running?

Larvotto is the only public construction site that the Prince’s Government has decided to keep running, at a reduced level of activity. This has been done on public interest grounds, to enable Monegasque nationals and residents to have access to 100% of the beach this year, and to ensure full completion of the resort area, including the shops, by summer 2021.

The Government is imposing very strict health conditions on the contractor: the number of employees on site has been limited, and each worker has their temperature taken morning and evening. Meals are taken on site, with stringent rules surrounding distribution. Finally, an inspector is present on site at all times, with expanded authority to take action up to and including calling a halt to work in the event of a failure to comply with the health rules.
