Additionally, on June 2, 2020, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The following countries have suspended certain mail services:

Honduras UPDATE: Empresa de Correos de Honduras (Honducor) has advised that it has extended the suspension of postal services until June 7, 2020, or a later date to be communicated in due course.

Israel UPDATE: Israel Postal Company has advised that owing to the cancellation and postponement of flights, the processing of outbound items may be subject to significant delays. In addition, although the situation is returning to normal, for safety reasons, all inbound letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items requiring signature on delivery remains suspended and the previous established procedure to leave the item at the door after being scanned and photographed to ensure that delivery has been made, and if possible, record the name of the addressee, continues. Consequently, the situation of force majeure remains in effect and delays may occur in the treatment and delivery of all types of letter-post, parcel-post and Express Mail Service (EMS) items.

Nepal UPDATE:Nepal Post has advised that the suspension of all postal operations has been extended until June 14, 2020.

Unless otherwise noted, service suspensions to a particular country do not affect delivery of military and diplomatic mail.

This service disruption affects Priority Mail Express International® (PMEI), Priority Mail International® (PMI), First-Class Mail International® (FCMI), First-Class Package International Service® (FCPIS®), International Priority Airmail® (IPA®), International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®), and M-Bag® items.
