From Saturday, June 19, 2021 at 6.00 a.m. until Monday, June 28, 2021 at 6.00 a.m., according to a ministerial decision, which was ratified by article 2 of Law 4682/2020 of par. 3 of article sixty-eighth of the Legislative Act of 20/3/2020 “Urgent measures to address the consequences of the risk of spreading the COVID 19 coronavirus, to support society and entrepreneurship and to ensure the smooth functioning of the market and public administration”, ratified by article 1 of Law No. 4683/2020, further relaxation of the measures for hairdressers is coming.
More specifically, for the operation of hairdressing salons, personal hygiene services (waxing, ultraviolet and infrared therapy, manicure, pedicure and nail care), natural wellness, etc., the following conditions apply from yesterday, Saturday 19 June until Monday 28 June:
- 6 persons up to 100 sq.m. and 1 person for every additional 16 sq.m.
- 2 m distance between workstations
- customers arrive only by appointment by telephone or electronic means
- it is forbidden to wait for customers in the area
- businesses must complete a list of their customers’ appointments at the start of the day
Therefore, as far as the activities of hairdressing, barber shops and beauty centres/CAD 96.02 are concerned, the two-metre distance between workplaces is still maintained, but the number of customers within the business is increased, as six persons are now allowed for up to 100 m2 for approximately 10 days, and one additional person is allowed for every additional 16 m2.
Of course any moves to lift the measures are a relief to the industry, but we cannot overlook and fail to note that the two-metre distance remains a significant constraint. Besides, in practice, capacity does not only depend on the square footage of a room.
We continue to follow developments closely, discovering and verifying any news that concerns us.
Stay tuned…
