News that two postal employees in White Plains tested positive for COVID-19 prompted the United States Postal Service to assure residents that there is no evidence the coronavirus can be spread through the mail.
The two employees, who work at the Westchester Processing & Distribution Center, will not be back at work until medically cleared, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman said. Officials say they believe exposure risk to other processing center employees is low.
The Postal Service believes exposure risk for other employees is low, based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Westchester and Rockland health departments, according to the spokesman, George Flood.
