As scientists and public health experts learn more about how the novel coronavirus spreads and how patients contract COVID-19, attention has turned to the risks of surface transmission — and banks have looked to prevent transmission via materials like ATM keypads and paper currency.

On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — sponsored by Reich and Tang Deposit Solutions — ABA SVP Paul Benda summarizes the latest science on how COVID-19 is transmitted and explores prudent steps for banks to minimize that spread.

And with banks in some places beginning to plan for a return to branch lobby operations, Benda provides suggestions on configuring HVAC systems to minimize the risk of airborne viral transmission via droplets or aerosols.

If you can’t see the audio player above, click here to listen to this week’s episode.

This episode is sponsored by Reich and Tang Deposit Solutions.
