Find out what happened, and whether you should be concerned!

 

Alliance Bank : At Least Three Employees Positive For COVID-19

Alliance Bank closed these five branches / offices after at least three employees tested positive for COVID-19.

• Alliance Bank Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur
• Alliance Bank direct marketing office at Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur
• Alliance Bank Star Boulevard KLCC, Kuala Lumpur
• Alliance Bank Jalan Gaya, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
• Alliance Bank lending hub in Puchong Jaya, Selangor

All five branches will remain closed for sanitisation, until further notice.

At least three Alliance Bank employees are known to be positive for COVID-19 :

• Employee 1 worked at the Puchong Jaya lending hub, and was last at work on 22 December 2020.
• Employee 2 worked at the Jalan Ipoh branch, and visited the Star Boulevard branch. This employee was last at work on 24 December 2020.
• Employee 3 worked at the direct marketing office, and was last at work on 28 December 2020.

Alliance Bank did not mention why their Jalan Gaya branch in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, was also closed for sanitisation.

It could have been due to infected employee(s), or an exposure to a customer with COVID-19.

 

Alliance Bank COVID-19 Exposure : Do NOT Panic!

Even though quite a number of Alliance Bank branches were affected, you should not panic…

They are definitely tracing contacts, which is why it is important to log your movements with MySejahtera, or the physical logbook.

While banks offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use the MySejahtera mobile app, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.

Using the MySejahtera mobile app also obviates the need to sign a physical logbook, which usually means using a shared pen – an unnecessary risk factor.

If you happen to be in close contact with any of those affected Alliance Bank employees, you will be contacted and asked to self-quarantine and undergo a COVID-19 screening test.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is easily destroyed by soap, so the sanitisation operations will definitely clean the branches of any infectious particles.

But most important of all – we need to remember to always wear a face mask in public. Face masks have been proven to prevent the spread and reduce the risk of being infected.
