GPOC suspends international mail delivery

The Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPO) on Friday announced that it will be temporarily suspending all international mail delivery.
This is in the wake of the rise in the numbers of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases around the world.
According to GPO, there is a current delay in mail delivery services to other administrations such as Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, Latin American and the Caribbean.
GPO said that though the international mail delivery will be temporarily suspended, packages coming from a few countries might not be affected.
“Customers are advised that international mail delivery continues uninterrupted to the USA, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Antigua, Tortola, Monserrat, Dominica, Jamaica, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Belize, Bahamas, Grand Cayman, China, Costa Rica, Japan and India,” GPO said in a statement.
The Corporation further encouraged that its customers await the reopening of the borders in these jurisdictions for the resumption of mail delivery.
Just recently, Guyana closed its port of entries to prevent the spread of the deadly virus as five cases were recorded locally.
Since Guyana began its fight against the deadly virus, schools and businesses have closed their doors to protect persons from contracting the disease.
In a move to protect the health and wellbeing of public servants in light of global concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Department of Public Service has also instituted a shift system.
Also, to contain the spread or COVID-19, every Ministry/Department/Region has a responsibility to sanitise the work environment intermittently during working hours to protect all stakeholders.
