CDC Safety Poster About Beards and Face Masks
February 27, 2020
In the wake of the coronavirus, a CDC guide for facial hair and styles that may render a face mask useless began making the rounds on social media.
With regards to coronavirus safety, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has some suggestions about facial hair.
Side whiskers, soul patches, lampshades and handlebar moustaches are good to go, according to CDC chart, but styles like long stubble, a beard, and mutton chops are not recommended because they are likely to interfere with a facepiece respirator.

People were very confused to see the "Hitler"mustache on the list!?!
The CDC has just come out in favor of Hitler mustaches. (Because they don’t interfere with the seal on respirators) the infographic is interesting because it provides names for facial hair styles I hadn’t known. https://t.co/Q8N3jUxYe1 pic.twitter.com/WSSKsAJdf1
