Hong Kong, China – Disruption to airmail centre operations

16 February, 2022

Update

Hongkong Post, the People's Republic of China's designated operator for the territory of Hong Kong, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that, owing to the current pandemic situation, all airmail centre staff have been required to undergo multiple COVID-19 tests as from 6 February 2022 and to work from home until they receive a negative test result.

Consequently, operations at airmail centres have been severely affected, with functions reduced to a minimal level only. The processing and transportation of all inbound and outbound mail have been disrupted. Quality of service for all types of mail (letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items), as well as inbound mail delivery services, will be affected until further notice.
