Brennan is urging employes and community members to follow the government recommendation for healthy sanitation such as washing hands, avoiding touching of eyes, mouth, and nose to prevent the virus from spreading.

One of the letter carriers from Cincinnati came forward and shared her woes that her seniors absolutely do not care about the health and well-being of their employees. There isn't as much as the availability of hand sanitizers less any other measures. 

The employees spoke to the Government Executive, and more than 75,000 people signed an online petition for the Postmaster General to ensure the rights and safety of the employees during this pandemic.

The petition included a call for paid leave for anyone older than 65, sick leave for an employee who contracted coronavirus and handover of necessary supplies like gloves, sanitizers, and faces masks at all the stations.
