COVID-19 Resources for Built Environments

These are some COVID-19 (Coronavirus) resources I have found for built environments. They may be of interest to researchers, facilities managers, building owners, building cleaners and occupants and visitors of buildings. As knowledge about the virus, and how to reduce its spread is still developing, guidance is likely to evolve. Please, therefore, check for the latest guidance.
