A detailed Questions & Answers document is available to view by all colleagues. (https://www.myroyalmail.com/node/14595" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) This is a fast-moving situation, and as such, we will be regularly updating this information page as well as the Q&As.

Should an employee be advised by NHS 111, the online self-assessment webpage http://www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or their GP to self-isolate, or they are responsible for looking after a child who has been advised to self-isolate, their manager will update our Self-Isolation Recording Portal.

If it’s raining so bad that it can’t survive one minute hanging out of a letterbox then just slip leave it.
