Banks from HSBC Holdings Plc to Citigroup Inc. will temporarily close retail branches in Hong Kong on Saturdays from March 5 as the Asian financial hub scrambles to contain its worst outbreak of Covid.

HSBC, the city’s largest lender, will also shut 11 more outlets starting from Wednesday after several staff tested positive for Covid-19, the London-based bank said in a statement. The bank, which operates about 100 outlets in Hong Kong, last week closed some branches, including the one in its main office building in the Central district.
