Banks to remain open on limited scale from July 5

All banks and their branches will remain operational on a limited scale during a strict nationwide lockdown.

Banks will remain open from 10:00am to 1:30pm for customer transactions, while internal office activities will be allowed until 3:00pm, said a notification from the Bangladesh Bank (BB) on Wednesday.

However, banks will remain closed from July 1 to 4 due to bank and weekly holidays, said an earlier BB's Department of Offsite Supervision (DOS) issued circular on Tuesday.

The government on Wednesday issued a set of restrictions to be imposed during the nationwide one-week strict lockdown from 1-7 July.

Meanwhile, Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner said the lockdown violators during this period of its rules will face legal action leading to arrest and imprisonment.

The government decided to impose a seven-day strict lockdown starting from July 1 due to an alarming deterioration of Covid-19 situation in the country.
