Hundreds of doctors and nurses in Wuhan, including 30 female medical staff, are cutting their hair short or even shaving their heads to avoid cross-infection when treating patients with COVID-19.

A representative of the medical team from Xinjiang said that long hair posed the risk of carrying pathogens when treating patients at an epidemic area.
