A Ghanian sex worker, on a phone interview on eTV Ghana’s In Bed with
Adwen, has revealed that she needs to work, thus if the coronavirus
situation gets critical, she will practice sexual distancing.
The woman, whose name was withheld, shared that for five days now, she
has not been to work due to the coronavirus outbreak but is able to take
care of her three children with the little money she has saved
overtime.
However, she stated that if the pandemic persists for too long, she
would have to go back practising sexual distancing. This, she explained
as having sex with nose masks and gloves on.
Asked by host, Adwen, whether she is not scared of contracting the
deadly disease, she replied that over the past five days, she has not
been to work, she has even coughed and sneezed a few times but she has
no intentions of getting tested because if she is tested positive and
quarantined, there will be no one to take care of her children.
She also said, “I trust that I have not contracted the virus because
even before I decided not to go to work five days ago, I already had the
clients that I work with and they are white people but they’ve been in
the country for a long time now”.
She assured Adwen that none of her clients has travelled outside the
country recently and that they are all safe, thus, she is safe too.
Notwithstanding, Adwen, the Love Doctor advised the sex worker that due
to the nature of her work, she should try as much as possible to take
the test so as to keep her children and clients from harm’s way.
