Mail Carrier without Mask

I am still oxox — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 19:30:53 GMT

I am wondering why my Mail Carrier is not wearing a mask when all people in NY are under a mask mandate?

You can ask him.

My mail carrier doesn't wear one but he drives a mail truck around and is by himself putting the mail into the individual boxes by the street.

I have seen my carrier not wearing a mask too. However, we have an outdoor community mailbox and he drives up to the box and then leaves, so it's not like he's walking up to each house delivering the mail.

I'm just glad I'm getting packages from my mail carrier. I've had QVC packages sit in the post office for 2 weeks waiting to be delivered and then other packages at my local post office and then redirected all over the country and then back to my local office before it gets to my house.

Mine does not. He's outside and does not come in contact with anything but the mailbox.

What was that person's answer when you asked them? I could say: "beats me"!

Does this apply?

Who must wear a face covering?
New York State (NYS) law requires everyone over age 2 who can medically tolerate a face covering to wear one when in public if unable to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others. Examples include walking on a busy street, shopping in stores, seeing your doctor, dining at a restaurant (when not eating or drinking), going to your place of worship or attending a gathering. You must wear a face covering at all times when riding public transportation, such as the subway, ferry, bus, taxis and car services. We strongly recommend you wear a face covering as much as possible when in a shared indoor space outside your home, such as places of worship and offices, even if you can maintain 6 feet of distance from others.

~Please do your part. Wear a mask, observe social distancing, wash hands. It is patriotic, and the right thing to do.~😷🇺🇸

No requirement for a mask unless the carrier goes into a building or is within 6 feet of others per the NYS mandate.

It's a good idea to familiarize your self with your area's mandate. Saves some worry.

My mail carrier, UPS delivery person, and FedEx delivery folks do not wear masks. The latter two carriers rarely interact with me unless they are unsure of something related to my delivery. (They usually throw my packages at my door and leave.) My Mail carrier always knocks and directly hands me my many packages each week-- often after 7:00 p.m. ( I am one of the last houses on his very large route.) I just accept the package(s), wash my hands, and move on. Amazon Prime folks in their little white vehicles sometimes wear masks in my area.

Why not ask him instead of people on this board who wouldn't know?

@Johnnyeager

He goes into at least 30 buildings in my development and walked right past my hubby and I sitting outside

I've never seen a mail carrier wearing a mask here.

He's probably just following the example of several high-profile figures.

Ask your mail carrier; no one here knows.
