The SA Post Office announced on Wednesday that Coronavirus or COVID-19 delays mail to and from the Far East.

he South African Post Office advises its clients that it cannot accept mail destined to the following countries:

  • China
  • Malaysia

  • Kuala Lumpur

The Post Office said mail to Hong Kong is not affected.

The airline carriers currently used by the SA Post Office for transport to and from these countries are unable to uplift mail due to challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, it added.

“As a result, mail from these counties meant for South Africa will also be delayed.”

The Post Office said it will resume services once suitable arrangements have been made with different airlines and would like to apologise for the inconvenience.

Today, the Minister of Health informed the public that 6 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed. “This takes the total number of coronavirus positive patients in South Africa to 13.”
