BALTIMORE — More than 100 Baltimore-area postal workers have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the United States Postal Service.
On Monday, a spokeswoman confirmed 118 employees in the Baltimore District have tested positive since March.
A local postal worker, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of losing his job, said a District Manager confirmed on Friday that 74 employees have returned to work while 42 are still out.
The employee said mail hasn’t been going out on certain routes, just packages, and carriers are having to work 14-hour days on top of worrying about their own health.
“I’m very concerned because they’re sending people to different branches from other branches, so if we have people going back and forth to different branches, we have no idea whose got what, where, what’s coming back to our office,” said the carrier.
