BRPD Circular Letter No. 13: Directives to Prevent Outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

The Banking Regulation and Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank directs all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh to implement specific measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Banks are authorized to determine leave policies for high-risk individuals, women facing honor-based threats, and employees exposed to infected persons. Additionally, all necessary meetings and seminars must be held virtually, with in-person events only permitted if they comply with DGHS guidelines, while overseas travel is discouraged except for urgent needs with proper approval.
