An unrepentant Michigan barber with customers lining up for his services is snipping away in defiance of a state order to shut down.

State Police told 77-year-old Karl Manke to close Friday, saying his Owosso shop was an “imminent danger” to public health, according to the Detroit News.

But Manke said he’d hold firm to his shears, working while wearing a surgical mask despite a state order deeming barber shops and hair salons to be nonessential businesses. He was still open Saturday.

If the shop does not shutter, the state attorney general will seek a court order to close it.

“Mr. Manke’s actions are not a display of harmless civil disobedience,” spokesman Ryan Jarvi told the newspaper.

The state’s stay-at-home order is in place until May 28, although restrictions were lifted on some businesses like landscaping.

Meanwhile, Florida is allowing barber shops and hair salons to reopen Monday in all but Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

The Sunshine State marked its deadliest week in the coronavirus outbreak, with the death toll increasing by 401. Some of the deaths had occurred more than a month earlier but were just recorded, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

By Sunday, at least 47 states will have eased restrictions meant to stop the outbreak, CNN reported, leaving New York, Connecticut and Washington, DC, with most of their pandemic measures in place.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem ordered two Sioux tribes to remove virus checkpoints on reservation lands designed to stop the spread of the virus. The tribes didn’t consult with the state before they issued travel restrictions on non-tribal members, Noem said Friday, despite federal regulations requiring them to do so.
