- Utilize hand sanitizer available throughout the branch
- Use online and phone banking, ATMs, and the drive up when possible
- Avoid touching mouth, nose, or eyes
- Cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
- Please practice social distancing by keeping 6 ft away from others in the lobby. Signs and floor markers are there to assist you
