If you live in Kelowna or West Kelowna, you may not have received any mail on Tuesday.
According to Canada Post, the Okanagan Delivery Centre on Baillie Avenue in Kelowna was closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.
Canada Post says the employee was following physical distancing measures and wore personal protective equipment, and that the facility was immediately closed to conduct sanitization.
The facility closure affected mail delivery to customers in parts of Kelowna and West Kelowna with the postal code beginning with V1W, V1V, V1Y and V1Z.
Canada Post says delivery should resume on Wednesday.
“We certainly understand that operating during COVID-19 can cause concerns for employees,” Canada Post said in an email to Global News.
“That’s why, since the beginning, we’ve committed to closely following the advice of public health officials at the national and local level in order to keep the employees and the people they serve safe.”
