Case of hairstylists who contracted COVID-19 and didn't transmit it to any of the 139 clients they saw shows effectiveness of mandatory mask orders, researchers say
sheds new light on how the stylists were able to work while having COVID-19 for about a week each and not transmit the novel coronavirus.
Springfield's public health unit then got to work with contact tracing, getting in touch with all 139 clients the two stylists had seen between when they first noticed their symptoms and when they stopped working. Some of them had been in close contact with the stylists for as long as 45 minutes; the average was closer to 20 minutes.
"Both company and city policies were likely important factors in preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during these interactions between clients and stylists," the researchers wrote.
