USPS Statement on Coronavirus

Posted on by postal

The U.S. Postal Service continues to have a temporary suspension of the guarantee on Priority Mail Express International destined for China and Hong Kong, which has been effective since Monday, Feb. 10, 2020, due to widespread airline cancellations and restrictions into this area.  In addition, customers may see delays in mail and packages destined to China as well as from China. The Postal Service is undertaking all reasonable measures to minimize the impact to our customers.

The Postal Service is closely monitoring the coronavirus situation and has been in contact with other U.S. Government agencies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has information available on its website, https://www.cdc.gov, that provides the latest information about the virus. As always, the safety of our employees and customers is one of our highest priorities.
