Why???? It’s not a bloody secret. Royal Mail management maybe trying to hush it up when there are outbreaks in offices but we don’t have to follow suit. Bloody disgusting that when people are off with it management aren’t making the rest of the staff aware, and those staff are touching the frames and vehicles that the infected ones have been using. This is why the bloody thing keeps spreading. If people don’t know that colleagues have it they in turn could be going around unknowingly infecting others. As a country we have Track & Trace, as a company we have Sshhh and Lie.

Plus when someone goes down with Covid they wipe their frame down but what about the 2 other frames they throw off, the Yorks they touch and the IPS frame the van, the list goes on

because his identity can be found out by management lurking on here, admin have usually edited posts by now giving away their workplace
looking at their other posts he's already said someone is a brown noser to manager, probably true but you've got to be careful what's posted online
that's my only reason to edit

You sign a confidentiality clause when you start, If I remember correctly it lasts for 7 years after you leave the business.

The yorks they touch by that point could be anywhere in the network by the time someone is confirmed to have Covid

Just presume everyone in the office has covid eg what about the asymptomatic ones? and you should be okay. Wear a mask try keep your distance (I know, they don't make it easy) and wash your hands/use gel before you think about touching your face or rubbing your eyes. If EVERYONE did this we'd be through this thing quicker.

its amazing and sad that this needs to be explained to some people. So now a manager from that office knows hes from his own office, he might already be able to work out from his ID or his previous and future posts exactly who it is, and depending on what they talk about on here could be opening themselves to conduct.

7 tested positive. Should other members of staff who have had contact with them be self isolating.?

I think most people are probably more scared of Covid than they are of a manager snooping around on here.
