Barbershops and car wash centres in areas under the second movement control order (MCO 2.0) are allowed to operate from tomorrow, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced.

At a press conference today, he said these businesses must comply with strict standard operating procedures (SOP) and they can operate until 10pm.

Barbershops and salons can only provide haircuts while facial services are not allowed, Ismail added.

The government has made it compulsory for barbershops to use face shields and the use of new gloves and a new apron for each customer. They are also required to clean all scissors and combs with hot water.
