Should You Have Sex During Coronavirus Outbreak?
Since coronavirus has been declared a pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have been urging people to take precautionary measures in order to prevent the virus from spreading. But, considering the CDC's advice to avoid handshakes and hugs, you might be wondering whether or not it is safe to have sex during the coronavirus outbreak.
Coronavirus is spread through water droplets from the nose and mouth, which contains the virus. It is transmitted from person to person, usually between people who are close within six feet of each other. So, when an infected person kisses their partner, it may put the partner at an increased risk of infection.
So, the question lies can coronavirus be transmitted during sex? Health experts are discouraging people from greeting one another with a cheek kiss because kissing someone infected with COVID-19 could leave you getting infected with the virus.
When you are into physical intimacy, it is pretty likely you are going to be swapping some saliva while kissing. This can increase the risk of transmitting the virus.
