That’s likely because the stylists were wearing masks, health officials said this week. In late May, the Springfield-Greene County Health Department warned that people who got haircuts at a Great Clips in Springfield, Mo., after restrictions were lifted could have been exposed to covid-19. Meanwhile, all customers and employees who were potentially exposed to the virus were given the opportunity to be tested, county health officials said. Those who declined testing were quarantined for 14 days, with health officials calling twice a day to check to see if they developed symptoms. “This is exciting news about the value of masking to prevent covid-19,” Springfield-Greene County Director of Health Clay Goddard said in a statement.
