Most of Canada Post’s employees are back to work and regular mail routes are resuming Tuesday in St. John’s and the surrounding area.
Canadian Union of Postal Workers local representative Craig Dyer said Monday was the first day the sorting facility on Kenmount Road had the majority of its workers in the building since before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Newfoundland and Labrador.
Five employees tested positive, all linked to a cluster stemming from Caul’s Funeral Home on LeMarchant Road.
While trying to get mail out to people who have been waiting for two weeks is important, they also want to do it in a way that doesn’t endanger themselves or their families.
Last week, Canada Post resumed operations at the Kenmount Road facility.
The focus was on getting cheques out to people as fast as possible.
On Monday, the building was given another full cleaning, with regular mail routes resuming Tuesday.
