COVID-19 has ripped through a DHL depot in Manchester after management failed to enforce appropriate safety regulations, the CWU charged today. The Communication Workers Union said over a third of the workforce have the virus after the parcel-delivery company allowed a day-shift manager with flu-like symptoms to return to work after a week off without completing 10 days of self-isolation or taking a coronavirus test as per government guidelines. Concerned office and warehouse staff raised the matter at a meeting with the site manager, only to be told that the individual concerned was “confident” he did not have the virus. This is despite the fact he had come into close contact with another member of management who had already tested positive and who has now sadly died with Covid-19, the CWU said.
