Enforcement of reinforcement measures tailored to the’special quarantine measures for the year-end and New Year’
Limited number of customers in the store..’Customer waiting line’ at the entrance
“At least 1.5m distance between consultants..Some counters may be closed”
In the News Reporter Eun-Shil YooㅣThe re-proliferation of Corona 19 will further strengthen the social distancing of bank branches from the 28th. The number of waiting customers in the branch is limited to 10 or less, and customers who cannot enter due to the number of people must wait at the customer waiting line provided at the entrance.
The Federation of Banks (Chairman Kwang-Soo Kim) announced that the’Strengthening Measures for Social Distancing of Bank Branches’ will be implemented from the 28th in line with the government’s’special measures to strengthen quarantine during the year-end and New Year holidays’. This measure is the strongest measure ever implemented by banknotes in that it limits the number of customers in the branch.
Bank branches should limit waiting customers to 10 or fewer, and customers who cannot enter should wait at the indicated customer line. We will guide you so that the distance between waiting customers can be maintained at least 2m.
Even within the branch, you must keep a sufficient distance, such as sitting by one space. By expanding the installation of partitions at the counter, we will block the possibility of infection between customers and employees as much as possible, and if partition installation is difficult, we will keep the distance between consultants at least 1.5m to 2m or more.
If there is not enough space in the branch office to maintain a sufficient distance, plans to close some counters are also actively considered. For example, if there are 5 counters in operation, but the distance between consultants is less than 1.5m, counters 2 and 4 can be closed and only counters 1, 3 and 5 can be operated.
These measures are being promoted to “strengthen quarantine” in consideration of the recent spread of Corona 19 and the possibility of increasing financial demand during the year-end and New Year, and individual banks will maintain the basic principles, but will be flexibly implemented according to the situation of each branch.
Banking Federation Chairman Kim Kwang-soo said, “It is the time when all members of the society need active participation in order to prevent the spread of Corona 19. For daily banking operations, please use non-face-to-face channels such as the Internet as much as possible.”
