The Terrence Higgins Trust has released guidelines on safe sex as lockdown measures continue to be eased - though advises abstaining from sex outside your home is still the best course of action. Research suggests Brits have been abiding by common sense during the pandemic with the number of people taking new sexual partners having dropped considerably. The charity also recommends not having sex if you feel unwell and to isolate if you have symptoms. Sexual partners are advised to wash their hands for 20 seconds before and after sex to help reduce the risk. Due to the ways Covid-19 is spread, the charity further recommends not kissing and wearing a face covering during intercourse.
