Royal Mail has issued an update on its delivery days after making changes due to coronavirus.
In April, the postal service said staff have been under “incredible pressure” for a month and “need some relief”.
As a result, Royal Mail decided to suspend all Saturday letter deliveries from May 2.
A statement posted on Royal Mail’s website 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.
“Relevant factors include high levels of coronavirus-related absences and necessary social distancing measures.”
Special Delivery, Tracked, all non-account services and “most other parcels” continued being delivered six days per week, reports the MEN.
And Saturday collections from businesses, post office branches and post boxes also continued as normal.
But now, the postal services has announced that it is reintroducing its Saturday post deliveries next week after the suspension five weeks ago.
The Royal Mail said: “We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13.”
