Where I am (NYC) you absolutely can get a haircut. Both you and the barber wear masks. But I know other places are locked down tighter.
> Why can't barbershops switch to an appointment based system where they only have one person in the shop at the time?
There can’t be only one person in the shop at a time, there must be at least one customer and one barber. And even if the barber only has one customer at a time they still represent a notable infection risk, if they are contagious they could infect a dozen people a day.
- vfclists 6y agoYou know very well that one person means one customer. As for infection more research was done on ventilation standards and their upgrading if necessary. It is better to pay more for energy than not have a business at all. Businesses have to spend more on ventilation if they are to stay in business. The risk of infection can't be more than that of medical personnel who have to treat Covid patients if proper standards are applied.
