CDC Details the Dangers of Facialbr Hair Amid Coronavirus Outbreak The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)br recently released an infographic detailing how certainbr types of facial hair interact with respiratory devices. The infographic covers 36br different facial hair styles, rangingbr from clean shaven to a goatee. According to the infographic,br most mustaches, such as pencil,br walrus and zorro are safe. Beard-wise, the clean shaven,br soul patch and zappa are thebr only approved options. Styles such as anbr extended goatee, fullbr beard and mutton chopsbr do not make the safety cut. The CDC’s attempt to educatebr is due to the growing concernbr of the CODIV-19 spreadingbr throughout the United States. Life-saving respirators and face masks arebr being used to aid infected individualsbr and prevent the virus from spreading. The CDC believes the problematic facial hair styles will br prevent respirators from successfully sealing to one's face. With more than 80,000br confirmed cases worldwide,br it’s more important than everbr to be prepared for CODIV-19.
