Usually I don't get sick very often, but I had a cold on and off for months when I was in camp a couple years ago. It was fairly widespread too. Everyone eats together, works near each other, talks to one-another. It's not a place for social isolation.

This. Basically the work camps do not have health care facilities, so if someone accidentally brings it in, that could be a death sentence to everyone there.
However Metro Vancouver construction likely can keep on since a lot of that protection gear is already part of the process. They can't just shut down something that has already started because it may cause the construction site to succumb to weather events or vandalism. Just like the work camps however, you would only continue so long as protection equipment is available.
