The following countries have suspended certain mail services:

Indonesia UPDATE: Pos Indonesia has advised that the Jakarta office of exchange (IDKTC) will be temporarily closed for three days from June 15 – 17, 2020. This closure will lead to delays in the processing and delivery of inbound items, response to inquiries, RESDES messages and customs processes.
