Medical officials in Thailand have called the survivors of the Coruna epidemic to wait thirty days after recovery, before having intimate relationships or kissing their life partners.
And the website of the American "Al Hurra" channel said that these claims were based on a Chinese study that warned that the emerging virus remains in the semen of men even after they recover from the disease.
The Corona epidemic, scientifically known as Covid-19, is a respiratory disease that spreads mainly through saliva drops, but it is not yet clear whether the virus that causes it can reproduce in the testicles or transmit sexually.
But Thai experts have said it is best to abstain from sex because there is a great opportunity for the virus, known as SARS-Cove 2, to be transmitted through semen.
There are viral diseases like Zika that were first known to be sexually transmitted, but studies later proved to be sexually transmitted.
"Staying away from sex for at least 30 days, after someone has recovered from the coronavirus, may help limit its spread," said Viruatya Manusotti, a senior medical expert with the Department of Infectious Diseases Control in Thailand, to Business Insider.
Not only did the Thai expert Manosotti stop the sex workers for a month, but he also called on them to wear condoms when they started having sex again, after the month had ended.
