Guyana Post Office temporarily closes office

In light of the deadly coronavirus, the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) has announced that it will be closed from Thursday until further notice.
The GPOC said that as such, bulk mail will be accepted on April 16 and 17, 2020, in which notices will be publicised and sent to the relevant agencies.
Further, the post office corporation stated that the treasury pensions will be paid on April 22 and 23, 2020, at all post offices from 09:00h to 15:00h.
Only recently, GPOC stated that it will be temporarily suspending all international mail delivery.
This is in the wake of the rise in the number 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.
In March, Guyana closed its ports of entry 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.
