Please find linked a copy of the above-referenced document from the Postal Service regarding Essential
services update: December 2020 (pdf)
The Postal Service is continuing normal operations while state and local governments deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in communities throughout the United States. Our customers are depending on us — especially during this peak holiday season — and we are taking unprecedented precautions to stay safe and to continue to deliver for our country.
It’s important to know that the Postal Service is part of the critical infrastructure of this nation, and to clarify that as employees, you are providing an essential public service of the American government.
This means that for the purpose of engaging in your work for the Postal Service, you are exempt from “curfews,” “lockdowns,” “shelter-in-place” orders, general quarantines and other restrictions that may be imposed by state and local governments.
