Daily Times gathered that Canada has reported 129,425 cases of COVID-19 and 9,132 deaths, as of Sept 1.

Meanwhile, new daily cases are far below peak volumes, but there has been a recent uptick, driven by more infections in certain western Canadian provinces.

She said, “Current evidence indicates there is a very low likelihood of contracting COVID-19 through semen or vaginal fluids.”

“But, sexual activity with new partners does increase your risk of infection (or) spreading by close contact, like kissing.”

“The lowest risk sexual activity during COVID-19 involves yourself alone,” Dr Tam said.

“If you choose to engage in an in-person sexual encounter with someone outside of your household or close contacts bubble, there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk.

“The most important step is to establish a trusting relationship with your sexual partner.”
