Get rid of your trendy beard if you want to stay protected from coronavirus:
A beard is a really powerful fashion statement for men. The style of your beard can make you stand out from the crowd. But if you are worried about staying protected from the coronavirus, you must shave that beard off. Spreading rapidly around the world, millions are using face masks to protect themselves from the air.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said: “Facial hair that lies along the sealing area of a respirator, such as beards, sideburns, or some mustaches, will interfere with respirators that rely on a tight facepiece seal to achieve maximum protection. Facial hair is a common reason that someone cannot be fit tested,”
Coronavirus is becoming a global pandemic, even though there is no official notification by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to the data compiled by various agencies around the world, there are now 81,164 confirmed cases of Coronavirus around the world. Five more countries have reported Coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours—these are Algeria, Austria, Croatia, Pakistan, and Switzerland.
So it looks like being a clean shave is the best way to stay safe from the virus. But if you still have a beard then a full beard is a big no, at least trim it.
