Dr Lee Boon Chye says hairdressing is a high-risk sector due to the close proximity between the customer and the person cutting hair. FMTNews MCO

Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye says if the service is allowed, the customer and hairdresser must wear masks, and sanitising of the chair and gadgets must be carried out frequently.

“This is in fact a high-risk sector. The clients, the barber and hairdresser can infect each other due to body contact while cutting hair,” he told FMT. First, all barbers and hair salons should operate with the front doors open and the air conditioners switched off. The owners must sanitise the chairs after each customer and sterilise each gadget used after cutting hair, he said, further stressing that any contact surface must be kept sanitised.

min said ok Covid-19 doesn't have impact on economy, and now hair salon can also open for business.. low risk right?

Macam ni ke 😅

Even after the MCO has been lifted, social distancing will have to be maintained until a vaccine is found, according to health experts.

PH takda isu sebenarnya. Kerajaan pergi letak pisau di leher suruh buka premis ka? Letak pisau suruh pergi gunting rambut ke? Tak nak sudah. Klu perlu patuhi langkah langkah keselamatan jarak sosial, pakai sarung tangan dan penutup hidung mulut. Letak polis depan kedai.

Is that Dr M?

I was going to get my hair cut when barber shops reopen. Thanks for highlighting risks. Will get wife to do the honours instead.

Well said.
