Coronavirus Preparation
How We're Preparing Our Bank Locations
Should you need to visit a Peoples Bank location, we’re taking extended actions to ensure our bank locations are clean and hygienic.
- We are actively encouraging sick employees to stay home. Employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness are recommended to stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (100.4° F or greater using an oral thermometer), signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants).
- We are actively encouraging employees to postpone non-essential travel. This includes all bank-related and personal travel.
- We are actively performing routine environmental cleaning. In addition to our normal cleaning activities, we are routinely cleaning all frequently touched surfaces in our bank locations, such as CSR stations, lobby areas, offices, and ATM keypads. We are also removing items such as candy jars and coffee pots from our desks or lobbies.
- We have installed sneeze guards by our CSR stations.
How You Can Help
If you are sick with any of the following symptoms or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been around anyone with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 14 days, please stay home to prevent the spread of disease and take care of yourself. Symptoms: Cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell.
