Can you get coronavirus by opening your mail? - TODAYShow
As of Thursday, 13 of the more than 630,000 USPS employees have tested positive for COVID-19, said spokesman Dave Partenheimer. The agency did not specify whether any of them were letter carriers. These employees had either traveled internationally to countries with widespread disease or live in areas of the U.S. where there has been community spread of the virus.
"We are not aware of any employee who has contracted COVID-19 as a result of his or her work for the Postal Service," Partenheimer told TODAY in a statement. "The United States Postal Service is closely monitoring the Coronavirus Disease 2019 situation and continues to follow strategies and measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public health departments."
As part of that effort, the agency is sharing the CDC guidance to its workers via stand-up talks, employee news articles, messages on bulletin boards, videos and an intranet site within USPS workplaces, Partenheimer said.
