Honduras – Continuation of lockdown

​Empresa de Correos de Honduras ‎‎(Honducor) asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that, in ‎view of the measures adopted by the Honduran Government through an executive order of 19 July 2020 to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the entire territory of Honduras will remain in lockdown ‎until 26 July 2020 (or a later date to be communicated in due course).

To minimize human contact and protect its workers, Honducor has decided that it ‎is necessary to suspend the postal service across the entire postal supply chain until 26 July 2020, or ‎a later date to be communicated in due course (from admission of international mail at land and sea ‎borders, and at Ramon Villeda Morales Airport in San Pedro Sula and Toncontin Airport in ‎Tegucigalpa). It therefore asks countries that normally send their mail to Honduras by air cargo or ‎commercial flights not to do so for the time being; otherwise the mails will need to be stored in ‎customs warehouses, generating significant extra costs.

An exception may be made for humanitarian ‎aid, which Honducor is able to process with the knowledge and prior authorization of the Honduran ‎Government‎. Correos de Honduras thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding. It will keep them updated via EmIS.
