HS2: Partial suspension of work due to coronavirus outbreak
HS2 management suspends work at the majority of the sites with the exception of 5 sites considered curicial to the project. Some West Midlands sites are among the ones where the activities will continue. For other sites, no date has been given for the resumption of the activities.
The website of HS2 (https://www.hs2.org.uk/) has this banner (i made it italic):
In line with Government advice HS2 Ltd and our contractors have temporarily closed many of our offices and suspended works at a number of our sites.
The HS2 Helpdesk remains operational all day, every day, and is your first point of contact: Freephone 08081 434 434; Minicom 08081 456 472; Email: HS2enquiries@hs2.org.uk. If you contact us by post there will be an extended delay in us receiving and responding.
I was not able to find a detailed list other than what is published at https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/staffordshire/2020/03/27/hs2-work-to-press-on-during-coronavirus-lockdown/

This is a too grave mistake to be true. I hope it is not.
"HS2 Ltd have been accused of putting contract workers at risk through delaying lockdown and not enforcing social distancing practices on their sites to prevent the spread of coronavirus"
While HS2 lets workers are allowed work shoulder to shoulder and HS2 is blamed for not enforcing the safe distance measures, environmentalist protesters have been 'evicted amid coronavirus pandemic'...
