The USPS said the safety and well-being of employees is one of its highest priorities. To ensure the health of employees, it is continuing to follow recommended strategies from the CDC and local health departments, and is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation on a nationwide basis.

Under the Rehabilitation Act and the Privacy Act, specific employee medical information must be kept confidential and may only be shared in very limited circumstances.
