Top lawmakers say that the U.S. Postal Service is in need of funding amid the coronavirus outbreak, a Tuesday report said.
The Postal Service needs “urgent help” amid the coronavirus pandemic or it could shut down as early as June, Reps. Carolyn B. Maloney and Gerry Connolly said in a statement, McClatchy News reported.
“Based on a number of briefings and warnings this week about a critical fall-off in mail across the country, it has become clear that the Postal Service will not survive the summer without immediate help from Congress and the White House.” — Statement by Reps.
