UniCredit SpA said Thursday that it has closed a business center
and a branch in the northern Italian city of Piacenza due to the
novel coronavirus.
The Italian bank was informed on Wednesday that a business
center employee had tested positive for the virus.
The center has been closed since Sunday and it has been cleaned
and sanitized. As a precaution, the bank is sanitizing a branch in
the same city, which will remain closed until further notice.
UniCredit has recommended that colleagues who had close contact
with the employee put themselves in quarantine for 14 days and will
reach out to customers who have been at the branch recently.
The province of Piacenza, in the Emilia-Romagna region, has had
319 cases of coronavirus, according to Italian authorities. The
number of infected people in the country has risen to 3,089 and 107
have died, Italian authorities said on Wednesday.
