Wema Bank has introduced self dispensing hand sanitisers and body temperature scanners at all its branches in the country in a move aimed at curtailing the spread of Ebola.
The bank is also introducing protective
gears for members of its staffs especially
those who deal directly with customers. In a notice to customers released Monday, the bank said henceforth all customers and visitors to any branch of the bank would be required to use the hand sanitisers and be scanned for symptoms of fever before being admitted into their banking halls.
“In the wake of the recent Ebola Virus Disease outbreak across West Africa, we are compelled to introduce the following preventive health and safety initiatives at all our business locations in order to ensure a safe banking environment for all
customers and staff,” the bank stated. “All customers and visitors are required to use the hand sanitisers and also undergo a quick non-invasive body temperature scan before being allowed into our banking halls and business locations.
“In addition, some of our staff at the more
sensitive desks will also be required to
wear some protective gears while interacting with customers and other visitors during this period” the document added.
The bank did not say what provisions will
be made for customers who are denied
access due to their body temperature or
other health concerns.
