The bank’s memo said the International Commerce Center tower, where it has its main offices, would be starting temperature checks as well. Hong Kong is a regional hub. Deutsche Bank has sent a memo to Hong Kong staff recommending employees work from home for seven days after any China visit, according to people familiar with the matter.
