Post offices in Ray Brook, Bloomingdale, Rainbow Lake and Paul Smiths plan to reopen window, retail and package pick-up services Jan. 4, as long as they have enough healthy staff to do so.
“Of course, this is always contingent upon the good health of all parties involved,” Maureen Marion, a communications director for the United States Postal Service’s Albany district, wrote in an email.
These post office locations suspended all services but P.O box mail delivery on Dec. 21 after three employees at the Saranac Lake USPS location — the hub feeding the four affected offices — contracted the virus, causing employees at Ray Brook, Bloomingdale, Rainbow Lake and Paul Smiths to quarantine.
