«During the audit, it was found that the issues of ensuring the optimal working hours of employees, as well as safe customer service, including delineating their flow and preventing congestion in queues, were not fully resolved in the bank branches. Almost everywhere, visitors violated the mask regime and the rules of staying at the cash registers, did not observe the principle of social distancing. Often, specialists of banking institutions served customers who did not have personal protective equipment», the prosecutor's office said.

In some departments, citizens could not use disinfectants without contact, because the containers that contained antiseptics did not have pump dispensers. The working hours of a number of branches did not meet the generally accepted standards for the quality of public services and contributed to the creation of queues at the cash registers: the lunch break of employees coincided with that of the majority of citizens who applied for banking services.

The identified shortcomings in the work could lead to negative consequences for people's health and create prerequisites for citizens to complain to higher authorities, the prosecutor's office is confident.

After the inspection, the Grodno regional Prosecutor's office sent the head of the regional management of the JSC «JSSB Belarusbank» performance, in which he demanded to eliminate violations of the law on sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population, other identified omissions and to take additional measures to prevent coronavirus infection.
