COVID19 UPDATE: Boris Johnson announces U-turn on close contact face services

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that treatments on the face will NOT be allowed from 1 August in England. So it looks like close shaves are off the menu!

The government has just announced that close contact services, such as treatments on the face like facials, close shaves and hot towel shaves, will not be able to resume from tomorrow.

Boris said: “We would not hesitate to put the brakes on as required […] on Saturday, August 1, you’ll remember, we had hoped to reopen in England a number of the higher-risk settings that had remained closed. And today, I’m afraid, we’re postponing those changes for at least a fortnight.

“That means, until August 15 at the earliest, casinos, bowling alleys, and the remaining close contact services must remain closed”

The postponement will be for ‘at least’ a fortnight, which means August 15 would be the next possible earliest date for these treatments to resume.

Modern Barber will update this article when we receive more information.
