In March 2020, the Postal service notified APWU National that MMO-031-20 was being implemented in the field as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. MMO-031-20 superseded Flu Season MMO-109-09 and contained detailed information reflecting the guidance of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and prevention methods designed to reduce the spread of coronavirus (deep cleaning). The MMO also required additional cleaning (in many facilities, multiple times a day) in operational work areas, swing rooms, lobbies, restrooms, locker rooms and meeting areas using disinfectants, surface wipes and hand sanitizers.
