List of Office affected by Covid-19?

Post by **midegarelu** » 01 Nov 2020, 11:14

Is not about time we had a list of offices affected so that we can all see how bad (or good) the situation is nationally.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Southampton Mail Centre

9 people tested positive in a two week period. Apart from more hours for cleaners and encouragement to wear masks no other action taken. Won’t name the office as I don’t want to risk identifying myself.

No surprise, the way managers are behaving in this pandemic with regards to social distancing has been a disgrace. At a mail centre level they all have radios to communicate for FFS. They’re probably the super spreaders in most outbreaks within the company...

Only need to go to the Coronavirus News Article section of this forum to see how bad it is

All with the same identikit statement about the employees recuperating at home and all the safety measures RM have put in place blah blah blah

They obviously dont want us to know the extent to which offices are getting hit with it

Is that something you've heard or is that right? I knew there was like 20 at one point and they tried to blame it on a leaving party.

I'm sure there're plenty of other Royal Mail offices around the country with positive cases but the media isn't aware. Ours, for instance.

We've had a handful of positive cases over the past few weeks, but nothing in the news about it.

2 at my office confirmed positive last week. Still no interest from management with regards to enforcing social distancing.

Jubilee mail centre

5-6 cases in the last week. Each case from different work areas and different shifts. All hushed up by management.....

We've had about 6 cases, I'd be amazed if there are any medium-large sized units without any.

Since March Medway has had around 15 staff members from across all shifts test positive with 1 death
