In a new update from the CDC on the control of Coronavirus, it has released a list of hairstyle which could possibly be detrimental to the measures put in place to curtail the spread of the deadly virus which is rampaging China and other Asian countries.
It has released a chart indicating which facial hairstyles could interfere with potentially life-saving respirators, that are worn to prevent the contraction of diseases like Coronavirus.
In the graphic, 13 different styles are check-marked green, meaning that they won’t get in the way of properly sealing the respirator onto one’s face, while 18 other styles have a red under them, indicating that they pose a threat to the mask’s ability to function. This is because hair can render the respirator’s exhalation valve ineffective, by getting in the way.
For the safest respiratory sealing surface, the Center for Disease Control advises gentlemen to simply shave their facial hair. Although soul patches, sideburns, and most moustache styles are among the 13 styles that have been approved. In more uplifting news, a vaccine for Coronavirus has reportedly been created by a genetic engineering company in Houston. The scientists at Greffex believe they have found the cure for the deadly disease.
