    Saw something on my phone yesterday about there being a potential Covid outbreak at Pitt Street sorting office.

    I have noticed that there has been a massive drop off in the delivery of mail, but I assume that there are postal staff self isolating etc.

    been off since last week, but in our d/o certain walks were failing but only by 1 day, it would usually go out with double the next day,
    and more on annual leave is now kicking in reduces staffing further
    we've had 3 months of excessive traffic that even with full staffing it would be difficult to cope,
    and that on some days management budgets won't allow overtime to be paid!

    10 confirmed cases rest of staff tested, I’d expect disruption for a while

    yes, amount of post lessening - put this down to a lot of things like bank statements - utility bills - telephone bills etc being on-line.

    We've had mail left in our D/O for up to four days, overtime paid some days then some not. Its been worse then Christmas and it's amazing what people have been sending for. Hopefully it'll get back to normal soon but on line shopping is definitely the future by looks of it.
