Logistical support of Poczta Polska in the fight against COVID-19

Since the beginning of the epidemic, Poczta Polska has been providing logistics services to institutions fighting the coronavirus. Poczta Polska is providing, among other things, essential personal protective equipment, equipment for hospitals and pharmacies, and supporting the creation of temporary hospitals. Poczta Polska recently completed deliveries to all temporary hospitals. Deliveries of additional personal protective equipment to pharmacies are also underway.

Since the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Poczta Polska has been supporting the Ministry of Health in distributing protective equipment. The company performs a range of tasks, including warehousing, packaging, pallet transport, and parcel services. It delivers to hospitals, including infectious disease hospitals, primary healthcare facilities, sanitary-epidemiological stations, National Health Fund (NFZ) offices, pharmacies, police, and border guards. Poczta Polska also delivered disinfectants to schools and kindergartens.

To date, Poczta Polska has delivered over 36,000 parcels in cooperation with the Ministry of Health. Currently, Poczta Polska is fulfilling an order to deliver protective equipment to pharmacies.

"Poczta Polska leverages its logistics infrastructure and experience in handling a variety of shipments, both standard parcels and pallet shipments. Providing services to the Ministry of Health is an important task for us, demonstrating that even during a pandemic, we can comprehensively serve customers requiring non-standard services, " says Andrzej Bodziony, Vice President of Poczta Polska.

Recently, Poczta Polska has delivered items to hospitals, including beds, respirators, and cardiac monitors, including six shipments to Katowice, four shipments to Krakow, and two shipments to Krynica and Płock.

In total, Poczta Polska transported nearly 40,000 pallets with beds and medical equipment both to the Material Reserves Agency's warehouses and from these warehouses to the voivode's warehouses and other institutions from which the equipment and supplies needed by medical personnel and patients are distributed.

Poczta Polska completed nearly 1,200 such shipments, covering a total route length of over 230,000 km. Shipments were made 24 hours a day, including weekends.
