REUTERS: As U.S. businesses reopen after weeks of pandemic lockdowns, many have been posting coronavirus disclaimers or requiring employees and patrons to sign waivers before entering. From hair salons and recreation centers to stock exchanges and wedding photographers, the notices have sprung up across the country, asking guests to acknowledge they might contract a disease that has so far killed over 100,000 Americans. Companies are using signs, forms and website postings as a shield against lawsuits, but the measures do not prevent people from seeking damages due to negligence, the same way someone might sue after falling on a slippery floor or getting sick from walls covered in lead paint, experts said. Lawyers said it would be tough to prove a business caused a customer's illness, but concerns are so intense that a waiver may soon become the new normal. Entities including the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City, a real estate agency in Arizona, a racecar speedway in Seinsgrove, … [Read more...] about Sign here first: US salons, gyms, offices require coronavirus waivers

SINGAPORE: Hairdressers and barbers across Singapore took out their scissors for the first time in weeks on Tuesday (May 12), snipping off the overgrown locks of an endless stream of customers, as the Government relaxed some "circuit breaker" measures. After three weeks of suspension amid enhanced circuit breaker measures announced on Apr 21, certain shops and services were allowed to resume operations on Tuesday - albeit with certain restrictions and precautions.

SINGAPORE: A woman accused of allowing a customer into her salon for massage and masturbation during the "circuit breaker" period had her guilty plea rejected on Wednesday (May 13) after she could not stop crying in court. Jin Yin, 55, was set to plead guilty to charges related to an incident on Apr 10, when she allowed a 67-year-old man into her In-Style Beauty Salon opposite the State Courts. There, she allegedly provided massage and masturbation services to him for S$150. However, Jin repeatedly sobbed and wailed in court on Wednesday until District Judge Ong Hian Sun said he would have to reject her plea as he felt she was not in the right frame of mind to plead guilty. The judge had stood down the case twice for Jin to compose herself, but she continued sobbing despite the interpreter coaxing her. Several security officers were also consoling her in court. When Jin heard that the prosecution was asking for a S$21,000 fine, she dropped to her knees and began … [Read more...] about Judge rejects plea by woman who allowed customer into salon for massage and masturbation
