Not true in all of Europe. See:
https://www.ft.com/content/19800d3b-...a-c0b4e0e2afde. I know it is over a month old, but it is still valid. Royal Mail is doing a great job (we received a letter yesterday that had been posted in a tiny hamlet at the other end of the country during the afternoon of the day before). We know (from having received post) that post from Germany to the UK was running well for Easter. Our Post Office will advise on which countries are reliable to post to as post to some countries is taking a long time (there are some countries, not in Europe, that they warn that no post is getting through to at all).
