Information for APWU Members on COVID-19
Your union officers are holding ongoing conversations with the Postal Service about COVID-19. We will continue to be in discussions with the Postal Service as the spread of the disease widens around the world and new information is learned.
The APWU always prioritizes health and safety and is engaged on this issue. We are not allowing the Postal Service to take a passive approach to the risks of the disease.
The most recent information on the COVID-19 virus can be found on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) website.
According to the CDC recommendations the spread of COVID-19 can be slowed by frequent hand washing, using hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol, and staying home from work or activities when you are sick.
