To some, cutting hair is a necessity but during this pandemic, we do feel that it is something we don’t really need. Imagine the amount of contact you will have, even if you are wearing gloves and a mask. The hair that is cut, the sweat, the scissors used; oh, so many contact points that we need to worry about!

Just recently, a barber in Mississippi passed away after he was infected by one of his clients. As reported by iHeart, Eugene Thompson, 46, died on Saturday (April 4), less than a month after testing positive for Covid-19. He who owns Tapernation, a very popular barbershop in the area, first admitted that he had fallen sick in a Facebook post on 18 March. He wrote,

?PSA: Due to the coronavirus TaperNation will only be accepting clients that are ONLY receiving a service until further notice… SO if your not receiving a service … don’t come !!
