KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian public and hairdressers have been advised to take preventive measures against Covid-19 transmission when visiting hair salons and barbershops, which have been allowed to operate under the third phase of the movement control order , Bernama news agency reported.
It said there was a high risk of spreading infection between barbers or hairstylists and their customers as they would be in close proximity with one another. Moreover, they would be in the same enclosed space for an extended period of time with limited space and ventilation, it said. It also said customers need to be screened for symptoms and if found to have any symptoms, they must be told to wear face masks. They must also wash their hands before entering the premises and practise social distancing.
