THE Press understands that a member of staff at Royal Mail's delivery office in Dunfermline has tested positive for coronavirus.
Workers at the Woodmill Street office were told at around 7.30am this morning (Monday) that a female employee had a confirmed case of COVID-19.
It is understood that she was sent home on Saturday morning and three other workers who were in contact with her have also been asked not to come into work.
A source told the Press: "Saturday morning she came to work.
"She was made aware by a friend that they had coronavirus and that she had been in contact with her that week.
"On Saturday she got tested and result back that was positive over the weekend.
"Was sent home Saturday morning."
The Press have been told that the office will remain open with a deep clean of the woman's work area and van to be carried out.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

What about the frame she was double prepping. And the IPS where she was working/clearing down?
And the toilets she used? And the PHG locker where she went to collect her Specials? The area she cleared parcels from?
Anywhere else she might have coughed and spluttered?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Surely test and trace would point to a large majority of the office to be isolated?
Can never work out why this doesn't happen.
Only ‘close contacts’ are being contacted by Test and Trace and being asked to self-isolate.
Now let's be honest... :cuppa

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
