It isn’t easy to be a barber during pandemic and lockdown times
For barber P.K. Kunhimohammed, the lockdown has compounded his miseries. He lost his unborn child during the peak of COVID-19 after his pregnant wife developed complications. Forced to remain at home without work for over a month, Mr. Kunhimohammed’s family is surviving with the cash borrowed from his friends. His shop at Alachully, near Kottakkal, has remained closed for over six weeks. “We faced the worst of helplessness and misery during the days I spent at Government Medical College, Manjeri, with my pregnant wife. With hardly any cash in hand and no work, we tested positive for COVID. And soon my wife lost our child in premature labour. It was traumatic,” said Mr. Kunhimohammed.
