MBSB Bank Johor Bahru : Two Employees Positive For COVID-19
On 23 October 2020, an MBSB Bank employee tested positive for COVID-19. The contact tracing they undertook identified 23 other employees who were in close contact.
MBSB Bank immediately closed down their Regional Office and Branch, and had them cleaned on 24 October 2020.
Two of those MBSB Bank Johor Bahru employees later tested positive for COVID-19 on 25 October 2020. The other 21 employees tested negative, but are still undergoing self-quarantine.
This is the second time MBSB Bank had to shut down because of COVID-19, after their KL branch shut down on 12 October.
It also follows a slew of bank closures due to COVID-19 infections – Maybank TTDI Jaya, Public Bank HQ, Maybank Bandar Puteri Puchong, Maybank Bandar Sri Damansara, CIMB Kota Damansara, and UOB Kepong.
After establishing a business continuity plan, MBSB reopened their Johor Bahru Regional Office and Branch on Wednesday, 28 October 2020.
MBSB Bank Johor Bahru : Official Statement On Reopening
This was the notice MBSB Bank issued on the COVID-19 cases at their Johor Bahru regional office and branch :
MBSB Bank Johor Bahru COVID-19 Infection : Do NOT Panic
Even though at least three employees at MBSB Bank Johor Bahru were infected, you should not panic…
They were 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 that MBSB Bank branch when that affected employees were present, 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 deep cleaning operation will definitely clean the outlet 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.
