DPD is helping to counteract the further spread of the coronavirus and protect its own workforce with a series of measures.

As a precautionary measure, personal confirmation of receipt by signature at the private front door is substantially suspended for the time being. In addition, for the moment small, flat parcels of a suitable size can be put in the consignee's letterbox. We encourage customers and consignees to give us a deposit okay, so that no personal contact is necessary at all.

Employees whose presence on site is not required are working from home until further notice. Business trips are kept to a necessary minimum, and participation in large-scale events such as trade fairs has been suspended until further notice.

DPD is raising awareness among its staff, and especially among all delivery personnel, of appropriate hygiene measures. In addition, masks are mandatory at all locations, and strict distance and hygiene rules apply in all areas of the company premises. All locations are equipped with protective equipment and disinfectants in large quantities.

In case that "3G at the workplace" is to be maintained by the authorities at regional level, all employees affected by this regulation must provide proof of 3G before starting work. People who are not vaccinated, recovering or currently have a negative test are not allowed to enter a DPD location. This is checked and documented daily.

Updated pandemic plans exist for all locations in order to maintain our service in the event of a further spread of the corona virus. In addition, DPD offers all employees the option of supervised self-testing at their individual location. This offer is made on a voluntary basis. In addition, DPD Germany is offering vaccination to local staff and workers at various locations.
