Royal Mail issue update on its delivery days

Royal Mail has issued an update on its delivery days after it had to make changes due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The courier company has announced that it is reintroducing its Saturday post deliveries next week after it was suspended five weeks ago.

No letters or other post have been delivered over the weekend since last month after the temporary measure was put in place due to various factors including "high levels of coronavirus-related absences and necessary social distancing measures."

But the Royal Mail has now said: "We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13."

In April the postal service made a number of changes in a bid "to protect the health and safety of our people and the general public".

It announced changes to its opening times as well as temporarily extending the period of time given to its customers to collect parcels.

It also said to protect workers and customers as much as possible, the Royal Mail is minimising contact during delivery.
