The Acting Medical Officer of Health with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit is taking back a statement made earlier today (June 16th, 2021), where he gave the green light to outdoor haircuts.
This follows news that Joe’s Barber Shop in Pembroke was reopening despite personal care services not being permitted to open in Ontario.
Doctor Robert Cushman says hairdressers are regulated with certain specifications and standards to adhere to which is very difficult to do outside.
Cushman encourages business owners to contact the RCDHU if they have any questions.
