Given the rules about haircuts in the military, has they been cancelled during this medical emergency; are all the barber shops closed?

Either shave the bonce or, if you have a wife/ partner or whatever, invest in proper hairdresser scissors [preferably German] and bribe.
I have had buckshee monthly haircuts for 40 years. But then I no longer have to go on the pull.

This won't affect army officers for some time, particularly those from the smarter regiments. When I was a rockape we had an officer at Catterick who had transferred from some cavalry regiment or other who was renowned for his flowing locks. When he was taken to task by the commandant (station commander) he put on a pained expression and replied, "Sir, the airmen have their hair cut, officers wash theirs"

TTN, speaking as a member of the Cav, it’s simply BAU haircut wise!

My wife cut mine at the weekend … Result: total self-isolation for the 'duration'

Time to get the “Patrol Base” look back in fashion.

My hair is largely self-cutting these days...

At OTU, our Commandant, ex Armoured Corps, rejoiced in the nickname 'Ringo' on account of his hairdo.
