While doing that, we are also aware of the efforts government is making to bring the situation of COVID-19 under control in Ghana. We therefore found it dutiful to support the government towards the purchase of test kits to help curb the spread of the virus and PPE for the protection of our front line health workers”.
The bank further stated that, it will keep monitoring the developments on COVID-19 and take the decisions that will be in the best interest of customers and employees.
