On Wednesday (August 26), Scotiabank was informed that one of its employees attached to the Nassau Main branch tested positive for COVID-19.
The Bank is now working very closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to have other staff members tested and has temporarily closed the branch for deep cleaning and sanitization. Customers who require in-branch services today (August 27, 2020) are directed to the East Bay Street Branch located nearby.
The Nassau Main Branch will re-open on Friday, August 28, 2020.
“We continue to prioritize the health of our staff and customers and we are taking all the necessary measures to ensure their safety in line with the best practices provided by the Ministry” advised Roger Archer, Managing Director, Scotiabank Bahamas.
