Dear Clients, The health and safety of both our clients and staff is always our top concern. So, we take seriously the potential spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to doing our part to prevent it. We continue to monitor guidance from the CDC and WHO and are taking all necessary precautions. We are asking that if you aren't feeling well to please reschedule your service. We will not be able to service anyone with flu-like symptoms. We will be sending bar...bers and staff home if they appear ill. Our staff is to perform extra hand washing throughout the day and hand sanitizer is available at all stations. During this time, we will also not be doing beard trims. We thank you for your understanding. If you have any concerns or questions, please call 818-340-9913. Sincerely, Your Fellow Barber Team at Gil's Barber Shop FAQ What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is the name of the disease caused by a novel strain of coronavirus recently discovered in China. Why are we concerned? We are concerned about the strain, called SARS-CoV-2, that causes COVID-19. It is moving among communities very fast and has some properties that have made public health officials around the world take action. This strain may be present in a lot of people who are not sick and will never get sick. In people who become sick, it also appears to take a long time before they show symptoms while they may still be contagious. But, isn’t it low risk for me? Why do I care? Our clients and barbers are mostly in lower-risk age groups and populations. However, we want to do our part to prevent the spread of the pathogen even among people who will never show any ill effects. In doing so, we help protect the people who are in high risk groups, such as our parents, grandparents, and those who are immunocompromised (such as recipients of organ donation). What are we doing about it? Our teams have been directed to wash their hands more often than usual and use hand sanitizer, which we are providing at every shop. The CDC and WHO have advised that frequent hand washing is the best protective measure any individual can take. We are also limiting our service menu to haircuts during this heightened initial period while officials develop new protocols for screening and testing. Last, we are refusing service to anyone with flu-like symptoms and directing them out of our shops. We will also send home any barber or staff member who is visibly ill. Why limit services? The CDC and WHO have advised people to avoid touching their faces as that is a common way for the virus to transmit. So, we have removed beard trims. Please take care and do your part.
