So that's at least 15-25 minutes extra unnecessary time per day that we have to spend prepping them, indoors, in close quarters with potentially infected and infectious colleagues before going out and posting them through every letterbox on our duty.

Given that evidence suggests the virus lasts at least 24 hours on paper surfaces this is bordering on criminally negligent behaviour on RM's part

You could prep d2d at the end of your delivery when you get back to office, for the next day. People in our office don't all finish at the same time so would be more chance of keeping distance. Just a thought.

Doesn't appear to be a workable option to me, we've still got to prep Mondays allocation prior to delivery, that will already put me well past my official 2pm finish time, so no time to do them after my delivery.

The fact is we shouldn't be posting this shite through people's letterboxes at all in the current circumstances, at risk people are doing their best to self isolate and avoid risk of exposure and we're shoving fist fulls of dominoes and farmfoods leaflets straight through their letterbox.

Good on you blobneb you go & run the show. At least you have some ideas. Even tweaking things slightly would make us feel a bit better but somebody please have the balls to make some decisions, even if they are sh?te decisions just do something, make something happen. The communication from the top is bloody appalling, but not surprising.

This article in the Metro quotes a specialist in public health from Liverpool Hope University, basically saying that the virus can quite likely be on mail delivered through peoples' letterboxes.

I read that La Poste in France gave their workforce a day off on Saturday so they could have a rest.

I heard one 'expert' on the news say it can be on mail but highly unlikely for the recipient to be infected by it. Can't remember the ins and outs, but he said it was not a conern.

Well if it may have the virus on it going out of the building doesn't that mean it might have the virus on it coming into the building?
