On April 30, 2020, the Postal Service™ received a notification from Slovenska Pošta, the designated postal operator Slovakia, advising that effective April 23, 2020, collection of signature on delivery has resumed. Deliveries will not be made to customers who are quarantined. Effective May 1, 2020, standard collection arrangements will resume, but with a collection period of 18 calendar days.
