From USPS March 29, 2022
SUBJECT: Updated Postal Service Face Covering Policy
3/29/22 – With the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continuing to decline across the country, state,
local and tribal jurisdictions have revised their pandemic mitigation measures and have stopped
their mandatory face covering policies and social distancing practices. The Postal Service has
decided to align with these national changes.
Effective immediately, the Postal Service will no longer require any postal employee to wear a
face covering while at work. All previous Postal Service face covering policies are rescinded.
Employees may continue to voluntarily wear a mask or face covering if they are so inclined.
The Postal Service will remain diligent and continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will
make modifications to this policy as needed.
The Postal Service will continue to provide face
coverings for any employee who requests one.
