By the very nature of tellers being behind screens, they will be more protected than most retail outlets.

I see libraries are on the 'non essential - must close' list. This could be challenging for me. The nearest Post Office is under reconstruction and the only access too it is through the library!!

Cash machine users need to take care too. Just imagine how many fingers have been jabbing those buttons. Carry Wet Wipes maybe?

Re: Banks, Post Offices .... closed or not?

Just to back Swimmy up just seen this in my e,mails from yesterday.

HELLO LONGFELLOW..
We know how important Post Office branches are to our customers. And we, alongside our postmasters and branch colleagues are doing all that we can to keep our branches open, so that we can continue to provide our products and services to you and your communities.

At the moment, the majority of our branches are open as usual and our supply chain is running as normal. Our priority is to keep our customers, postmasters and colleagues safe and healthy. We have advised everyone working in our branches to practice good hand hygiene and we ask that our customers do the same, as well as maintaining a sensible distance between other customers and our colleagues.

We will keep you updated as the situation evolves. But please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to support our customers, communities, postmasters and colleagues through this challenging time.

Nick Read, Group Chief Executive Officer
