Barbers dressed like they are headed to the operation theatre, in Meerut

From the archive record

Naapi work in a full PPE suit? You got it right! Looks like getting a haircut, a shave from your own local barber is no less than a surgical operation of some sort. With the Covid Pandemic seeing no respite and no vaccine or cure in sight, small scale businesses like this Barber shop in Meerut have opened up. The twist is that now barbers are dressed alike with doctors and other medical and health professionals. For their own safety and of the customers, a barber in Meerut's 'U like' barber shop is dressed in a PPE suit, face shield, gloves. Is this the new way of getting a haircut? A shave and a set of PPE is invested. Should people learn to groom themselves? Where will all the single use PPE go?
