Royal Mail has scrapped Saturday letter deliveries across the UK until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It will “temporarily” halt the deliveries on Saturdays from this weekend. It said it will continue to provide its letter delivery service from Monday to Friday as normal and will continue to collect all mail from businesses, post offices and post boxes.

Shane O’Riordain, managing director of marketing, regulation and corporate affairs at Royal Mail, said: “Our postmen and postwomen are working very hard across the UK in challenging conditions.

“As we said at the start of the coronavirus crisis, there will be some disruption to services.

“We understand the importance of the postal service in keeping the UK connected at this time.
