The CBB has directed banks to ensure effectiveness of their contingency plans and readiness to deal with emergencies.
Banks must also provide banking services to customers through all channels, whether directly through branches or electronic platforms.
They have also been asked to ensure that all ATMs are functioning and ready for use around the clock.
The CBB said precautionary measures taken by its currency issuing directorate include the use of ultraviolet devices in the main vault, increase in circulation of new banknotes, destruction of BD5, BD1 and BD0.5 notes deposited by banks and isolation of banknotes received by banks for 72 hours.
The regulator said it has also directed money transfer companies to make sure their staff wear protective gloves during daily withdrawals and transfers.
