Sev­er­al IARU mem­ber-soci­eties have announced that they are unable to receive ship­ments of QSL cards for their bureaus dur­ing the COVID-19 emer­gency. Before send­ing ship­ments of QSL cards to a nation­al QSL bureau the IARU strong­ly rec­om­mends an inquiry to the mem­ber-soci­ety to con­firm that the pack­age can be accepted.
