In order to ensure NPMHU members get as up to date information as possible on the COVID-19 pandemic, National CAD Represenatives met with USPS for an update on its reponse to the virus and what postal employees should they have recently been a passenger on a cruise ship.

The CDC in a recent turn of events recommended that travelers defer all cruise travel worldwide. The Department of State had also recommended that cruise ship travel be deferred. Patrick informed the NPMHU that the Postal Service is indeed reevaluating and will more than likely follow the guidelines of the CDC when it comes to the latest level 3 travel advisory issued by the CDC. If you were on a cruise in the past 14 days: Stay home for 14 days from the time you disembark, practice social distancing, and monitor your health. Social distancing means staying out of crowded places, avoiding group gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet or 2 meters) from others when possible.
