“This is simply not true. I have been practicing social distancing just as you have.
“No one here at the North Pole has been infected.
“All the toys and other presents will be totally disinfected before and after they are wrapped and put into my sleigh for delivery to your home, or to wherever you will be this year.
“Do not worry my friends, I will not be spreading the virus nor will I be getting sick from anyone that has it.
“Christmas is not cancelled.”
The post, on , has racked up hundreds of likes and comments as parents praised Santa’s hard work.

Another said: “My daughter has just asked if Santa can get covid I'm so glad I saw this earlier I've just read it out to her she one happy little girl now.”
A third commented: “This is a nice note the elves can bring!”
