Bangladesh Bank: Ensure ‘no mask no service’ policy in banks

Bangladesh Bank (BB) has instructed banks to strictly follow the Covid-19 health guidelines including “no mask no service” policy, to prevent the spread of the virus.

The Department of Off-site Supervision of BB issued a notification on Thursday in this regard and sent it to top executives of all scheduled banks.

According to the directive, the scheduled banks have to abide by a number of restrictions as Covid-19 cases are on the rise.

The BB also instructed the banks to ask employees and officers to maintain social distancing and motivate them to undergo Covid-19 test if they have Covid symptoms including fever, runny nose and cough.
