 Hello, my name is David Datch and I am the communications manager at the Universal Postal Union. The Universal Postal Union recognises that the COVID-19 pandemic poses tremendous challenges for postal operators and their partners in airlines, shipping and global logistics. We encourage every postal operator to follow the guidance of the World Health Organisation and to follow the medical advice given in their own countries. The health and safety of everyone is our first priority. The Universal Postal Union is also working closely with postal operators to ensure the safety of delivery items and to ensure that the cancellations of airline flights does not impact the delivery of postal items.
