Is it safe to open mail and bundles during the pandemic?
There is no proof that COVID-19 is spreading out through mail or parcels, according to the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Illness Control and Prevention.
Most of it is spread out from beads produced when a contaminated individual coughs or sneezes, which are inhaled by individuals close by.
