The company said it was monitoring the “fast-moving situation” on an hourly basis.
“We’re working with our airline and postal/courier partners across the globe to maintain services, however delays should be expected.”
Royal Mail also said it could not guarantee special delivery items posted on Wednesday (December 23) would arrive before Christmas due to the impact of the new coronavirus restrictions.
