Honduras
The designated operator of Honduras, Empresa de Correos de Honduras (Honducor), informs that the entire territory of Honduras will remain in lockdown until 28 June 2020 (or a later date to be communicated in due course).
To minimize human contact and protect its workers, Honducor has decided that it is necessary to suspend the postal service across the entire postal supply chain until 28 June 2020, or a later date to be communicated in due course (from admission of international mail at land and sea borders, and at Ramon Villeda Morales Airport in San Pedro Sula and Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa). It therefore asks countries that normally send their mail to Honduras by air cargo or commercial flights not to do so for the time being; otherwise the mails will need to be stored in customs warehouses, generating significant extra costs. An exception may be made for humanitarian aid, which Honducor is able to process with the knowledge and prior authorization of the Honduran Government.
In addition, Correos de Honduras is one of the government corporations engaged in restarting the national economy. The smart resumption of normal activities began on 8 June 2020 with the reopening of the Toncontin main exchange office (HNTGUA). It is opening and sorting dispatches received up until the week of 9 to 15 March 2020, and making the items available for collection at the office to addressees who are permitted to go out on that day (based on the last digit of their identity card).
Indonesia
The office of exchange (IDKTC) in Jakarta has been be temporarily closed for three days from 15 to 17 June 2020. This decision was taken after one employee tested positive for COVID-19. All necessary steps have been taken to prevent the spread of the virus in this facility.
This closure has led to delays in the processing and delivery of inbound items, response to inquiries and customs processes.
