On a grey, rainy #englishsummer day a group of dedicated EH, @SavvyShopper6 & Licensing team staff visited 151 barbers & hairdressers around #Walsall to see how they were coping with reopening after the #EHCOVID19 lockdown ended.

2/4 Most #barbers & #hairdressers were doing a fantastic job visors, face masks, social distancing - even a few taking temperatures, many recording customer details to help in the event there is an outbreak & their customers need to be contacted quickly to check they are ok.

3/4 There is still some confusion over parts of the #coronavirus guidance and law and so over the next few days we will be sending messages via a number of different contact methods - including visits to help the best way we can to support this industry after a rough few months.

4/4 #Customers you can play your part too by being patient, following the instructions given and reporting concerns to [email protected] so we can respond and ensure everyone is safe.
