The Scotiabank branch in New Kingston has been closed following reports that one of the two confirmed local COVID-19 patients visited that branch and was in contact with some staff members.
In a statement this morning, the bank said that as a precaution, they have decided to close the branch and ask the staff members who came in contact with the person to self-isolate for 14 days.
“Additionally, we are working with the Ministry of Health and Wellness to get our staff members tested and ensure that all appropriate protocols are observed. Our main priority is the safety of our employees and customers. The branch will be professionally cleaned and disinfected and will not reopen until we believe it is safe to do so.”
Customers who need in-branch services are being asked to visit the Oxford Road or Half-Way-Tree branches or any other branch that is convenient to them.
