At Hancock Whitney, the health and safety of our clients, associates, and community is our priority. We are monitoring the current situation of the novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, and the impact it has on the communities we serve. We want you to know that we are following all CDC and health department prevention recommendations.

We’ve prepared our associates with resources from the CDC on preventative measures such as hand washing and practicing good health habits, and we’ve advised them to stay home when sick. We’ve taken steps to minimize exposure to contagious diseases by providing additional hand-cleaning supplies and implementing additional, after-hours cleaning procedures at all locations using disinfectants recommended by the CDC. By increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces, including counters, door handles, client waiting areas, and restrooms, along with the other preventative measures, our goal is to help minimize exposure for our associates and clients.

Preventative Tips to Minimize Your Risk

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

These are everyday habits that can help prevent the spread of several viruses. If you travel, the CDC does have specific guidance for travelers.
