STRICT COVID-19 lockdowns in Bavaria, Germany, are reportedly being flouted by several underground hair salons which have been secretly styling despite regulations banning any hairdressers being open.
Officers in Elsenfeld and Momlingen have opened investigations for non-compliance in two cases where "people were having their hair done" in the cellars of two homes which had reportedly been professionally equipped.
Hair salons are considered to be non-essential in the region, but will begin to reopen early next month as coronavirus restrictions begin to ease.
Not every business is suffering due to the coronavirus downturn, with a farm near Charlotte, New Carolina in the USA having come up with an innovative option to liven up tedious video conference calls.
The Peace N Peas farm is renting out a miniature donkey named Mambo to join in Zoom chats, with customers able to reserve a 10 minute online session for US$50.
Other farm animals are also on offer, including chickens, ducks and three horses.
However Mambo is the key attraction, with a specially created website touting his participation as "like a pesky little brother that doesn't let anyone relax too long".
The site also suggests you should "invite this Ass to your next meeting" - book it in now at www.dangrooster.com.
