During these particularly challenging times, the well-being of our customers, our people and our communities are of paramount importance.

We wanted to let you know and reassure you that we are making changes to some of our processes to ensure safety remains our top priority whilst still enabling people to send and receive parcels. Deliveries to homes are not only convenient but could also provide much needed comfort and we take this responsibility extremely seriously.

So, we are making some changes to the way our couriers deliver parcels to offer 'contact-free delivery' right to everyone's doorsteps.

Our delivery choices will remain in place to ensure that consumers can arrange deliveries to suit them, whether selecting a safe place for our driver to leave the parcel or arranging to collect from a local DHL ServicePoint.

We would like to provide you with an update on the outbreak of coronavirus and the impact on our operations.

As a globally operating company, epidemic and pandemic risk scenarios are an integral part of the Group's continuous risk planning. Accordingly, DHL business operations are continually adapted to mitigate potential impacts. DHL Group follows a holistic management process that enables our business units to ensure the best possible operations for our customers, even in an emergency.

In order to closely monitor and manage the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, a DHL Group coronavirus task force has been established, led by our Group CEO Dr. Frank Appel. The Group’s task force also coordinates with international organizations (such as the WHO, CDC, ECDC and Robert Koch Institute) and provides the updated and necessary information to all employees and relevant operations on precautionary measures and legal obligations.

The safety of our employees and customers is paramount and the situation is changing rapidly, therefore constant monitoring is required. Under the supervision of the Group’s task force, we have contingency measures in place to mitigate any potential impact emerging from the spread of COVID-19. The Group’s task force frequently meets and updates top management on the evolving situation and discusses and approves preventive and mitigation measures as the situation unfolds.

Each of our divisions manages its operations to guarantee, to the extent possible, an undisrupted service to our customers. Hence, all our divisions are mobilizing their respective Business Continuity Plans, including pandemic operating plans, and implementing preventive actions as appropriate. These include daily updates to reduce exposure to and transmission of the coronavirus, self-quarantine precautionary measures in line with official authorities’ guidance, flexible working schedules, and a travel ban to high-risk regions.

We understand the rising concern regarding the risk of contagion. As a global service company with over 500,000 employees we thoroughly ensure our organizations in all countries operate following the protocols of official authorities, both international organizations and local country health authority advisories, whichever sets the strictest rules. We are also fully compliant with personal data protection regulation.

Therefore, in line with World Health Organization recommendations, our employees are not legally obliged, unless mandated or strongly recommended by official health authorities of the countries, regions or cities to:

1. Submit themselves to medical checks at customer premises (i.e., temperature controls)
2. Answer questionnaires with business or personal travel history
3. Wear gloves or face masks to perform their duties at any time

The safety of our employees and customers is paramount and the situation is changing rapidly, therefore constant monitoring is required. Under the supervision of the Group’s task force, we have contingency measures in place to mitigate any potential impact.

The Group’s task force:

• frequently meets and updates top management on the evolution of the situation
• ensures our organizations in all countries we operate follow official authorities protocols, both international organizations and local Country Health Authority advisories (whichever sets the strictest rule)
• discusses and approves preventive measures as the situation unfolds

• The Group task force has classified countries of our geographical operational footprint according to Coronavirus impact. This allows the implementation of accurate and tailor-made Business Continuity Planning to local conditions; and immediate response and monitoring in highly impacted geographies.
• Each of our divisions manages its operations to guarantee, to the extent possible, an undisrupted service to our customers. All our divisions are mobilizing Business Continuity Plans, including pandemic operating plans, and implementing preventative actions as appropriate.
• We work with our customers to secure capacity and operations, continuously monitoring the situation, both globally and locally, to ensure we respond to guidance from worldwide Health Authority advisories and comply with any requirements set out by Government bodies worldwide.
  
• The Group task force and operational teams in all divisions follow closely the development of the Coronavirus around the world and evaluate necessary adjustments required in our operations to adapt to changing conditions. We continuously work to develop solutions for our customers as the situation unfolds.
• Please find the link with regional updates and Air, Ocean and Road Freight updated: DHL Global Forwarding

• We keep our employees updated daily - via internal media, as well as via local management in the affected regions. We publish updated information as it becomes available to reduce exposure to and transmission of a range of illnesses – maintaining basic hand and respiratory hygiene, safe food practices and avoiding close contact, when possible, with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. Self-quarantine precautionary measures have been implemented in line with official authorities’ guidance (quarantine arrangements can vary, from quarantine in the home to quarantine in a designated institution. The rules are laid down by the local health authorities).
• All employee communications are in full alignment with the Group’s Chief Medical Officer.
• Preventive medication is not yet available.
• DHL Pandemics statement (Chief Medical Office): As a global company, our Group routinely takes account of epidemic and pandemic risk scenarios in its ongoing risk planning. Accordingly, DHL Group's business operations are continually adjusted to minimize any potential impact as far as possible. The company's relevant working group is monitoring the situation very closely, coordinating with international organizations (such as the WHO) and providing all employees and relevant Business Units with the necessary information. The safety of our employees is our top priority and we have the necessary emergency plans in place to mitigate potential effects.
• Considering the uncertainties surrounding the Coronavirus, DHL Group has introduced a general travel ban and non-DHL visitors ban for the high risk regions (please, check intranet corporate page for updated country list)
• In addition, for all travel, we strongly recommend employees to check the status of travel restrictions prior to departure, flight operations and screening of trips origin and destination on the International SOS website. The website, a partner of DHL Group, provides an overview of the latest developments. Our employees are briefed and should follow standard recommendations

Employees

• How many confirmed coronavirus cases does DHL have?
  
  • We do not disclose information about the number of employees on sick leave for any condition (including Coronavirus); neither suspicious cases.
    
• Does your personnel wear masks and gloves?
  
  • Wearing a face mask is not thought to be helpful, even by experts in countries badly affected by the coronavirus. The reason is that a face mask can only offer protection for a few hours and must then be replaced. In our everyday operations, that would mean having to replace the mask several times a day and having a sufficient supply on hand. Also, experts say there is no evidence to show that wearing a face mask significantly reduces the risk of infection for a healthy person who wears one. In fact, wearing a mask can give the wearer a false sense of security and lead them to neglect important measures such as regularly washing their hands.
    
    The same applies for gloves – there is no evidence to show that the risk of infection for a healthy person is significantly reduced by wearing gloves. Here, too, the deciding factor is hand hygiene, i.e. regularly washing your hands. In addition, we also advise not to shake hands with people (for example when greeting someone or saying goodbye).
    
    In addition, As of March 12th 2020, the World Health Organization recommends to: “Only wear a mask if you are ill with COVID-19 symptoms (especially coughing) or looking after someone who may have COVID-19. Disposable face mask can only be used once. If you are not ill or looking after someone who is ill then you are wasting a mask. There is a world-wide shortage of masks, so WHO urges people to use masks wisely.
    
    WHO advises rational use of medical masks to avoid unnecessary wastage of precious resources and misuse of masks (see Advice on the use of masks).
    
    The most effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 are to frequently clean your hands, cover your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are coughing or sneezing. See basic protective measures against the new coronavirus for more information.
    
• Can our customers impose our employees to wear masks, gloves, fill travel questionnaires or run medical checks?
  
  • We understand the rising concern regarding the risk of contagion. As a global service company with over 500,000 employees we thoroughly ensure our organizations in all countries operate following the protocols of official authorities, both international organizations and local country health authority advisories, whichever sets the strictest rules. We are also fully compliant with personal data protection regulation.
     
    Therefore, in line with World Health Organization recommendations, our employees are not legally obliged, unless mandated or strongly recommended by official health authorities of the countries, regions or cities to:
    
    1.    Submit themselves to medical checks at customer premises (i.e., temperature controls)
    2.    Answer questionnaires with business or personal travel history
    3.    Wear gloves or face masks to perform their duties at any time

Operations

• Can the disease be transmitted through shipments, parcels or letters?
  
  • There is no evidence that an infection with any type of coronavirus is possible through contact with objects or packages, including those arriving from areas where cases have been reported (source: WHO, Robert Koch institute)
    
• Can I become infected by touching a pen or a hand-held scanner if an infected person has touched them as well?
  
  • In such cases, the risk is equally low. The World Health Organization has said that, based on current knowledge, Covid-19 is spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. People with the highest infection rate are those with direct contact with an infected person.
    
• How has Coronavirus impacted DHL shipment volumes?
  
  • We do not disclose information about customers’ shipments volumes or routes
    
• Have DHL volumes involving Chinese imports and exports dropped off since the outbreak began?
  
  • We ask for your understanding that we do not disclose information about individual shipment volumes.
    
• What do you do if customer shipments are rerouted or subject to a delay due to the coronavirus outbreak?
  
  • If a customer’s shipment is, for instance, rerouted or the delivery is subject to a delay due to the coronavirus outbreak, we will work closely with our customer to determine the best course of action for any affected shipments
    
• What is the procedure for aircraft crews once they land in China?
  • Flight crews must observe the statutory rest periods. To minimize their risk of infection, we have taken appropriate measures to protect flight crews.

We thank you for your understanding, support and trust in our service.

Storm Dennis has affected all parts of the UK over the weekend. Wales was particularly severely impacted, having been subject to a Red rain warning and experienced extreme weather conditions over the last 48 hours.

The DHL Parcel UK site in Gwaelod-y-Garth, Cardiff & the surrounding area has experienced flooding. Police have currently closed the access road to the industrial estate for safety reasons.

Our operational teams are working hard to limit service disruption and we will continue to keep you updated of any further delays.

The UK has been busy shopping on line over the Black Friday weekend and we were presented with huge volumes of parcels overnight, well over forecasted levels from many of our customers. Inevitably there will be some delays in our network today as we work hard to clear this spike in volume. We would ask all of our customers and parcel recipients to be patient as all lines of communication will be very busy.

Due to severe flooding, Sheffield, Rotherham and the surrounding areas are suffering from transport and access issues across much of the area which is affecting many local roads.  

The flooding has caused some disruption to our local site operations that we expect to impact service levels today. While we have planned a full weekend recovery effort to minimize service disruption we are mindful that The Met Office is forecasting further heavy rain in the Sheffield area and it is possible the situation will worsen throughout the day. Clearly, the safety of our colleagues, partners and the public must remain our first priority. 

Our operational teams are currently working hard to limit service disruption, but parcel deliveries from our Sheffield site are likely to incur delays.

The DHL Parcel UK website will be unavailable  on Sunday 30th September between 9am and 10.30am whilst we carry out scheduled maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
