A spokesman for Lloyds told the Sun in a statement: “Following the Government’s confirmation of new measures to tackle coronavirus, our branches and call centres remain open.
“Our branches will open from 10am to 2pm on weekdays, with no weekend openings. This temporary change will help us to safeguard essential services across the country, maintain access to cash for our customers, and ensure those who are vulnerable or in financial difficulty can continue to speak to our colleagues.
“We would encourage customers to only visit a branch if it is absolutely necessary.”
