228 medical staff from the Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital have decided to cut their hair to make it more convenient to wearing medical protective suits. They left Xi’an to work in Wuhan, capital of Hubei and epicenter of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NPC) outbreak. 

In a hotel in Xi’an, three barbers worked for 11 and a half hours, giving a crew cut or even completely shaving the heads of the medical team members.
