In the case of colleague, working in a branch, the customers of that branch may be temporarily directed to another nearby location. The Bank is committed to recommend immediate quarantine to all customers or employees with whom the colleague has had direct contact. The branch can be reopened only after complete disinfection and with a team that has not been in direct contact with the positive colleague.. As a precaution against the virus, the bank employees wear masks and gloves, use disinfectants, observe the recommended distance, etc.
If we were notified that a person who tested positive for COVID-19 had visited our office or branch, we would apply all the measures described above as if our employee became ill.
