Nedbank Private Wealth says a member of staff on the Island has tested positive for Covid-19.

A number of employees were asked to leave the office and work from home for a period of initially 14 days as a precaution.

The office on Hill Street is closed to members of the public until further notice.

The full statement from Nedbank is below:

"We can confirm that this morning, Tuesday 5 January 2021, we were advised that an Isle of Man based member of staff has tested positive for COVID-19.

Following the confirmation, established protocols were put into action and a number of staff have been advised to leave the office and work from home for a period of initially 14 days as a precaution. The office is closed to members of the public until further notice.

The Government Track and Trace team have been contacting any individuals who have been in close contact with the staff member to advise of any other specific individual actions that may need to be taken. 

We continue to follow government guidance across our locations. Due to our contingency planning staff were able to quickly move to work from home, having already done so for a period earlier last year.  Staff remain dedicated to providing the excellent support clients can expect from Nedbank Private Wealth.

The wellbeing of our staff, clients and the Island community remains our priority and we wish our staff member well for a speedy recovery."
