Canada’s chief medical officer is now offering advice in the bedroom when it comes to preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Dr. Theresa Tam released a statement yesterday which suggested Canadians should skip kissing and consider wearing a mask when having sex with new partners, in order to protect yourself from catching the coronavirus.
She added that going solo remains the lowest risk sexual option in a pandemic.
Dr. Tam says there is little chance of catching COVID-19 from bodily fluids, but sexual activity with new partners does increase the risk of contracting the virus, particularly if there is close contact like kissing.
