Bank of Nova Scotia, the Canadian lender with operations in about 30 countries, has suspended all non-essential business travel as the coronavirus outbreak spreads worldwide.
Scotiabank told its nearly 100,000 employees of its decision, which applies to both domestic and international travel effective immediately, in a firm-wide email sent Thursday from the human resources department, according to people familiar with the memo. Any exceptions require approval from an executive vice president.
