Skip kissing, wear face masks while having sex to avoid COVID-19: Canada’s top doctor suggests

Wearing a face mask while having sex is very likely to protect you for catching the novel coronavirus, Canada’s chief medical officer has suggested. If the top doctor is to be believed, people should skip kissing altogether and should wear a mask while having sex. Going solo remains the lowest risk sexual option in a pandemic, the doctor has said. According to a report with Reuters, there is little chance of catching COVID-19 from semen or vaginal fluid, Dr. Theresa Tam has said in a statement. However, sexual activity with new partners increases the risk of contracting the virus, particularly if there is close contact like kissing.
