Notre Dame's vaulted ceiling is still in danger of collapse — but restoration has halted due the pandemic. 'The workers were protected from lead, but not COVID-19,' a chief architect said.
Notre Dame is still in danger, but the work to restore it has come to a stop because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Fromont warns Notre Dame's vaulted ceiling is still in danger of collapse. It is weighed down by 300 tons of charred timbers and mangled scaffolding soldered together by the fire. Originally in place to repair the roof, the scaffolding's twisted metal now threatens to destabilize Notre-Dame's structure, if it falls on any of the weakened walls.
Scores of motion detectors have been installed amid the rubble to detect even the slightest movement. Before France's lockdown began on March 17, around 100 workers were present at the site. Now only a security team guards the entrance and officials visit once a week to make sure things are in order. On Monday, Macron extended France's strict confinement measures until May 11.saying the cathedral would be rebuilt in five years, as promised.
