Rostock (dpa / mv) - Deutsche Post DHL handles the Christmas business in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with additional employees.
There are currently around 2500 employees, 400 more than outside of the Christmas period, as company spokesman Jens-Uwe Hogardt said on Tuesday.
Because of the corona crisis, this year's business is breaking all records.
This can also be seen in the center of Neustrelitz.
"There are currently almost 400,000 parcels going through every day," emphasized the spokesman.
Usually there are around 250,000 parcels.
To save consumers long waiting times in front of post offices and agencies, the company is setting up additional parcel stations.
Nationwide, the Post handled the largest number of mail items in the company's history last week.
"That was 61 million packages, around 20 percent more than in the busiest week of 2019," said Hogardt.
The newspapers of the Funke media group initially reported on this.
