While the government had previously announced that barbershops are allowed to be opened during the MCO, it was later withdrawn and barbers and hair salons are not allowed to operate during the MCO.
“We have to continue with what we are doing to tighten security and ensure everyone complies with the MCO,” Noorzainy said.
Guess it’s time for a DIY haircut at home because it’s better to not have a fresh cut and being arrested!
