“It is more important than ever to wash your hands after having sex, after masturbation or virtual sex,” said doctor Jose Barletta, from the Argentine Ministry of Health, in a television broadcast. Second Reuters, the advice was given at a time when the country remains in lockdown – confinement was enacted on March 20 and lasts until April 26. Argentina has so far 2,758 contagion cases by the new coronavirus, of which 129 correspond to deaths.
The advice to wash your hands after sex, in person or online, was followed by other recommendations. “It is important to disinfect keyboards, phones, sex toys and anything else you may be using, whether or not you are sharing these objects with others,” said Barletta. The social confinement caused by the pandemic has increased the sale of some sex toys in countries like Denmark or Colombia.
The Argentine president, Alberto Fernandez, was asked about this advice in a radio interview, limiting himself to saying: “If that is what the Ministry of Health says, we must listen”.
