Agrani Bank’s principal branch under lockdown

The authorities have imposed a lockdown on the principal branch of Agrani Bank in Dhaka after an official tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

All employees of the branch were also ordered to maintain home quarantine when the result of the test came out on Wednesday morning, the state-run bank’s Managing Director Mohammad Shams-Ul Islam said, reports bdnews24.com.

Some activities of the branch will continue at Amin Court Branch, he added.

The principal branch is situated on the first floor of the Agrani Bank Bhaban at Motijheel.

But the entrance of the headquarters is separate. 

All offices were shut along with the transport system in the country since April 26 as part of efforts to stem the coronavirus outbreak.

The Bangladesh Bank, however, ordered banks to remain open until 3:00 pm and conduct customer transactions between 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
