CDC Details the Dangers of Facial<br />Hair Amid Coronavirus Outbreak The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<br />recently released an infographic detailing how certain<br />types of facial hair interact with respiratory devices. The infographic covers 36<br />different facial hair styles, ranging<br />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 the<br />only approved options. Styles such as an<br />extended goatee, full<br />beard and mutton chops<br />do not make the safety cut. The CDC’s attempt to educate<br />is due to the growing concern<br />of the CODIV-19 spreading<br />throughout the United States. Life-saving respirators and face masks are<br />being used to aid infected individuals<br />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 80,000<br />confirmed cases worldwide,<br />it’s more important than ever<br />to be prepared for CODIV-19.
