Erik Chase says he got his hair cut at a salon where health officials say two stylists potentially exposed 140 people to Covid-19. 'So my first thoughts were anger, you know, just a normal reaction, and then I had grief and then it was guilt,' he says.
Chase told CNN's"New Day" that he got his hair cut May 17 at a Great Clips salon in Springfield, Missouri, where health officials say two stylists worked for up to eight days despite showing Covid-19 symptoms. They potentially exposed 140 people to the virus, the officials said.Health officials called him on Saturday afternoon -- six days after the haircut -- and told him that he might have been exposed on May 17 and that he needed to quarantine himself until May 31.
He's hoping to get a coronavirus test on Tuesday or Wednesday, and says he's been taking his temperature twice a day since he got the news.
