Coronavirus news from around the world

Naturally, the Coronavirus isn’t just a threat in Austria. In fact, the prostitution scene has been damaged by the virus all over the world and many new laws have been put into effect as a result of it.

For example, in Germany there is a new hygiene concept that has been brought up in order to battle the spread of the virus. This hygiene concept would make it mandatory to wear face masks throughout a meeting, the women couldn’t offer oral services and they would need to keep their clients’ contact information for up to four weeks. In case you wish to learn more about this hygiene concept, be sure to check out the previous article that we have published on the subject!
